Use these and other sites to create your Smore.
Your Task
Your group will create a Smore page to explain how one of the factors influences climate. (Choose the newsletter template). Use text, maps, and graphics to show how that factor works to create the climate of regions. Give examples of the influence of your factor.
One person in your group will have to sign up for smore.com - use your school email.
When you finish your Climate Factor page, click Save, then Update page, then copy the link and paste it on an announcement in your Google Classroom.
