Expo Task due 30th April


Air pollution in Greece

Air pollution in Jakarta

Hi Grade 6M,
Your first eLearning task is to make a post about your group's inquiry. You need to put the title, theme, central idea and your inquiries into.

After that you need to do some internet research about your first inquiry. I would like you to write 200 words and make sure you inlcude a bibliography. I think that you should aim to have at least 3 different resources. Please inlcude a couple of pictures.

Finally, post a comment using your best netiquette on 5 of your friend's blogs.
