Soon you will be creating your own world. You have some good, fundamental material to begin the task. At a minimum, you should include information on weather, geography, and organisms for your world. There should be a maximum of 5 people in your world group. You may include illustrations if you wish, but it is not required. You will need to include a complete bibliography for your materials used in planning the world.
There are many online resources about science fiction/fantasy world building other than the one given to you on NewDLE for the class. Some are useful while others are lacking. You need to plan carefully and work with your group regularly. While breaking into subgroups is fine, you will need to collaborate closely to make sure that everyone has the same ideas about where the world is headed in your creation. DO NOT WAIT UNTIL THE LAST MINUTE.
Keep as your guide the question: Is it scientifically realistic?
