Monday, August 27th - Library Research Day

Since Friday of last week students have been working on the Window on the World Group Project. Each group has picked a country and begun gathering information and statistics about their country using Almanacs and the CIA World Factbook online. Students will use their research to create three posters; geography (map), government/military, and level of development. The project will be completed on Wednesday (8/29) with groups presenting their posters to the class.

Today students researched their country in the library using the CIA website previously mentioned. Students also began analyzing their country to determine the level of development. Some students were able to start working on their posters. At the end of this blog is the rubric on how students will be graded.
