Middle East Geography Re: Teach

Feel free to use the CIA WORLD FACTBOOK.

By next Thursday, create a few slides to profile your country when you present it to the class… Email it to Justin & Peter. Also, post your country presentation on your site (either the exact slideshow, or an adaptation, or link to a Prezi or Google Doc) by Thursday. Make sure your brief presentation includes:

• The country’s name: + capital & geographic placement + a visual political map
• Info on – Gov’t/Economy
• Info on – Physical Geography (Shape…)
• Info on – People/Society
• Info on – Relevant Current Event(s)

Oh, Canada Data, eh?
