1. As partners choose
one country from the list
provided in the Computer lab and sign your names next
to that country.
2.
Your draft research should include at
least one full typed page of
information on the country including
the location in the world with a world
map showing exactly where your country
is located, language or languages
spoken (try to find some examples of
words in that language and their
meanings in English), capital city,
population, land area in square
kilometres, food (examples of food that
are special to that country if
different from what we eat), religion
(what are some of the main religions of
the country), resources & economy
(what things are produced in the
country to make money), average
temperatures (average temperature in
January, average temperature in July in
Celsius) and a couple of paragraphs
describing the culture of the
country.
There
are lots of links to information
gathered for you but remember to also
get images that will add to your
presentation. A good place to start
looking for free images is at
Pics
for
Learning.
Once you have your draft research ready
it can be stored in the Computer lab so
you are ready to build your multimedia
report with Hyperstudio.
