Today, you will be given your first major group assignment. This assignment is due on Tuesday, September 7. Groups were formed based on strengths and, in the case of some students who will be missing this activity due to a school field trip, ability to participate (they will do it later).
The assignment cannot be presented in its entirety here due to FOIP, but the overview is as follows:
You are to research your country/continent/region and create a presentation. If you are a continent or a region, you may pick one country and focus on it; however, if its politics or conflicts are closely tied to others in the region, you may not want to do this. The purpose of this is to ensure your classmates understand the history of the region in order to create a better understanding of the current situation(s) there.
What MUST be included:
History (keep it relevant to help us understand what is happening today)
Political system today
Economy today (what they rely on; what they import/export)
Major issues they are/have been dealing with and why
Visuals to help us understand (Powerpoint if you want)
A handout for your classmates of major points (summary… no more than a page)
Due date: Your presentations will be given to the class on Tuesday, September 7.
