1. The document describes a performance task to create a vegetation map of a school campus. Students were assigned areas and plants to map and then compiled individual maps into a composite map showing plant distributions. 2. The map uses symbols to represent different plant types - trees, vines, herbs, and grasses. It shows the locations of common plants around the school. 3. The completed map found that carabao grass and Bermuda grass were most abundant, while some trees and vines were least numerous. Plant distributions were uneven since most of the school is paved.
