homework for May 10th

Travel brochure is due on Friday.
That's all the homework for tonight!
I've doublechecked most students' work and there are bits and pieces still to be completed.

Please consult the check list.
I've printed out other copies of the travel brochure checklist.

Remember the overall MYP question to answer is:
How do people effectively adapt and live in their environment?
Another way of looking at it is...How does the enviornment affect the way people live?

Please make sure there is a physical and cultural grading on your itenerary.
