Forgot to mention (!) there will be an Final EXAM next (not this coming), but the following, THURSDAY, that will cover the entire unit of ECOLOGY, chapters 3-6. It will be
a lot of vocabulary, plus short essay/diagram questions. I will work up a list. Anyway, reviewing a little each day is much, much better than cramming.

http://quizlet.com/7305424/prentice-hall-biology-chapter-6-flash-cards/ Pay special attention to chapter 6 vocabulary, since I will give you a surprise quiz this Thursday for practice.
Off the top of my head, I recommend looking through those chapters for diagrams, such as the nitrogen cycle, the carbon cycle, food & energy pyramid, population graphs, biomagnification, etc. Pictures in textbooks give good clues as to what is important or interesting. If it is not interesting, it must be there because it is important. Which is to say, a diagram summarizes a large amount of knowledge. It is a "pictorial paragraph."
Reading: from the Comic Book on the Environment: Read up to (and including) Chapter 9. Take notes on vocabulary and major concepts.
Keep working on your Persuasive Photo Essay. Remember: 20 images, 1-3 minutes, show the problem, suggest a response.
