 You are part of WTAJ's local news team.  A team of scientists has just discovered a deadly tree blight caused by a mutated form of the chestnut blight fungus, Cryphonectria parasitica, that will eventually kill every tree species in the WORLD!  Your team’s job is to determine what will happen to living organisms if there are no trees and then to create a newscast to air on WTAJ’s nightly news.

ü  The newscast should describe the effects on organisms in all six kingdoms:

• o   Archaebacteria, Eubacteria, Protista, Fungi, Plantae, Animalia
• §  how will the interactions of organisms between kingdoms then be affected?



ü  Create a new wiki page with your team members’ names to record your data and newscast dialogue and link it below.

ü  Collaborate together to do the following:

• o   Research-link any notes and websites used to your group page
• o   Write out your dialogue so you will be ready to film-you must share the 3 flip cameras
• §  use computers 1-6 or 22-28 to download videos and edit videos-sign them out
• o   Save your finished newscast to your group’s wiki page
