My South American Country Project 
My South American Country Project
The purpose of this unit is to facilitate student learning about the world in which we live. The student will pretend that he/she is going to visit their assigned country for 5-7 days and will make round trip travel arrangements to and from their assigned country. To be prepared for the trip, the student will use technology to conduct internet research in order to be able to answer questions about their assigned country’s resources, culture, government, religion, geography, political atmosphere, social events, recreational pastimes, history, economics, etc. After the student has gathered all of the research, they will synthesize the information and write a report about their country and then create a power poininto a t presentation to go with their report.
