What benefit do we get from them?</p><p>Panel 4- A picture of the continent where the species lives (areas should be colored on the map where the species is located). Write a paragraph describing the area or location, climate, and environment of the species.

Any Mathematical statistics can be used in the section of the brochure. Write a paragraph explaining the statistics or graph.</p><p>Panel 6- Write a persuasive paragraph on how you feel about the organism and what you can do to help.</p><p>Please try to use resources other than the school library.
