AP Biology Summer Assignment

Goal: Creating an interesting blog with descriptions and photos of 20 (or more) vocabulary words from the list. Your work should be creative, in your own words, and cite any references that you use.
Photos: Take a picture that somehow illustrates the concept. Your picture can be a literal or figurative explanation of the concept. Please cite the reference for the definition along with a brief explanation of the concept and how your picture fits (if it’s not obvious).
Important: Include a mascot or widget of your choosing (a stuffed animal, a toy, a talisman, something uniquely you.)
Blog: You can make a blog for free. www.blogger.comwww.blogspot.com,www.wordpress.comwww.posterous.comwww.edublogs.com.. Each words a little bit differently so check them all out before you begin.
Due date: The first day of school! You will provide your teacher with the web address of your blog and she will grade it.
