Report on Saskatchewan Biomes and Land Use

Body of the Paper - Part 1

Every internet source used. It should be sited with the words after every sentence and also in the reference too. Also please do not copy the internet words for words or similar it should be done in our own words as a copy and paste work also counts as plagiarism.

A usual major part of this lab is to visit the Royal Saskatchewan Museum (RSM) in Regina to learn about Saskatchewan biomes. If you cannot visit, you can explore the museum online here. 

In addition to exploring the RSM, you will need to find at least 3 other sources of information for your report. At this point, you should have a good idea about how to find good sources online, and how to reference them properly.

As before, create your assignment as a Word file and set up the formatting as: double-spaced Arial 10 pt, with normal margins. Add page numbers. You should have a title for your paper, and you may use sub-heads. Do not include a cover page. Your paper should be between 1300 and 1700 words, not including references. You can include any visual information you choose.

The purpose of the Introduction is to give your readers some background information, and tell them in brief what you will be discussing in more detail in the body of the paper. You may wish to leave the Introduction until you have collected all your research material, or even until you have written the body of the paper. Suggested length: 350 words.

The order is up to you, but you should cover these topics for the Prairie, Taiga, Boreal Shield and Boreal Plain biomes : size, location in Saskatchewan, major communities, major water bodies climate (temperature, wind, precipitation, photoperiod) geography (landforms, soils, vegetation) and land use (e.g. farming, recreation) plants and wildlife unique to the area any other interesting facts you find (optional) suggested length: 500 words

When you are writing about a species, use the common name (e.g. domestic cat) as well as the Latin name upon first mention. Note that in the latter case, the first word is capitalized but the second is not, and both words are italicized. Thereafter, it is fine to refer to it using the common name.

There are no specific facts or topics to cover for this part of the paper - it will depend on the research you do. Again, feel free to add any visual elements that illustrate the land changes and how these affected the first peoples of Canada. Suggested length: 500 words
