For physical, perhaps include a short description and significance/ usefulness of relevant features. For cultural characteristics, consider including skills, capabilities, or achievements.

Provide two graphics
Proof your work for capitalization, grammar, and spelling errors.
Organize your work using conventions such as paragraphing, subtitles (like our modules), numbers, or bullets - but only if appropriate for your project!
