Introduction:
====//“The arctic fever has no effect on the body but lives only in the mind, filling its victim with a consuming urge to wander again, and forever, through those mighty spaces where the caribou herds flow like living rivers over the roll of the tundra.”// Farley Mowat, People of the Deer,====












 * Task 1:**

====**3)** You are now going to describe your photograph using labels. Add labels as text boxes with arrows. You should describe the **flora and fauna** (plants and animals) as well as any other features you see. This is a simple description exercise, say what you see.====

**5)** **What do you know? What do you think? What do I want to find out?**
====As a group come up with statements and questions that can go under these three headings. Add them to your picture. Use one text box for each of the headings. Once you have done this and had them checked I want you to see if you can find out the answers to some of the questions you came up.====

Task 2: Where do we find Tundra:


====Insert this map into your poster and then describe the distribution of the Tundra. Make sure you include information on the countries in which Tundra is found. You can write your description as a caption below the map image.====

Adaptation in the Tundra
====Pick an animal and a plant from the BBC Nature site, preferably ones that can be seen in your picture. Insert a small image of each onto your poster and write a brief description of how this plant and animal can survive in the Tundra. You can write your descriptions as captions or in text boxes next to the image.====

Children of the Tundra.
media type="youtube" key="UQeNOiYL3AQ" width="560" height="315" People living in the tundra are accustomed to a nomadic life. Tents are their homes, food is basic, and the deer is king. They don't watch TV or use the Internet. However, their children do go to boarding schools, but not all parents are in favor of them. Find out more about life and education out on the tundra on RT.
