Pick a Country Any Country!
Due: Friday - presentation on Friday!!!
Today is your chance to explore a foreign land. You will have the chance to learn about the
economy, the culture, the society, and the people of a far away land. Sound enchanting? I hope so!
The reason that you are completing this project is so that you can see that not all countries are the
same, which means they do not all have the same educational system and they do not all do business
the same way. . Each person will be responsible for presenting their country to the class. We will be
able to see over 25 different countries! This project is worth 200 points. 100 of the points will be
provided from the data that you collect and your power point presentation. The other 100 points is for the
completed outline and your presentation skills.
