WHAT A WONDERFUL WORLD!

 

 

In our geography unit, we have been discussing many places around the world and using our new vocabulary words to describe these places.  Today you and your partner are going to have the chance to explore two countries on your own! 

 

STEPS FOR EXPLORATION:

 

 

1- Think about 2 DIFFERENT places that you would like to visit.  Write their names on the top of the chart you have been given. 

 

2- Visit the CIA Fact Book webpage.  Once there, click on “Select Country or Location” and select your first country.

 

3- Fill in the required information on your chart and write down any other facts you find useful or interesting.

 

4- Click on “Select Country or Location” again and choose your second country.

 

5- Fill out the chart for country two.

 

 

NOW WHAT?!?!     

 

You and your partner are now experts in the class on that country.  You will need to come up with a creative way to teach the information that you learned to the class.  Be sure to explain the similarities and differences between the countries and do not forget to include a map, so the class knows where your countries are located!!
