Snakes, Reptiles, and You...OH MY!!

Your challenge is to create a media text on the computer about snakes or turtles. Use the information from the links below and what you learned at the workshops (your connections will make the poster more believable). Think about the three elements of media text: design (layout needs to be balanced with text and pictures), images (you need pictures to show your information and add interest), and additional information (accurate details). Remember to save your work before you log off!
