From the list below, select a country that you would like to research. If a country you are interested is not on the list, it must be approved by your teacher. Use the graphic organizer to record your information and to write a bibliography.

Norway

Mexico

South Korea

Sweden

Brazil

Netherlands

Australia

Hong Kong

India

Steps to Follow:

1.  Locate and record as much information as you can under each heading on the graphic organizer.

2.  Try to include a variety of ways to record your data. (Pictures, charts, graphs, symbols, maps etc.)

3.  Keep a record of all the resources you have used to complete this task (websites, resource books etc.)

4.  Using the information, you have located, creatively construct a presentation format that is approved by your teacher.

5.  Be prepared to present your findings to the class and to submit all your research notes for evaluation.

Agenda Note & Daily Challenge

Your daily challenge tonight, is to summarize the puzzle activity that we did in social studies. Don't forget to highlight some of the things that you have learned from this activity and to talk about what everything represented in the game (e.g. puzzle pieces, teams etc..). You may also reflect on different challenges that you faced as a group (stock market crash, flood, giving money to the government etc.) You also can give real life examples that are happening in our world now (e.g. talk about other countries or problems in the world etc.).


See you tomorrow! Don't forget to log those reading minutes (agenda calendar). Remember,  I am looking for you to be reading at home at least three nights a week.
