Asia Country Project

We have been studying the geography of Asia, and how its physical features, climate/vegetation, and natural resources affect people's lives. This project is designed to apply what we have been studying to a specific country in Asia.

Your Task: Imagine that you are sixth grade teacher. In order to teach your class abut a country in Asia you must complete research on your country so you are familiar with: (1) your country's physical geography, (2) its climate, (3) its vegetation, (4) its natural resource, (5) your country's current economy (how people make a living) and (6) what the culture is like in your country. After researching your country, you and your partners will create a poster. Your poster should inform the class about your country. Your presentation will earn you a group grade. You will also be asked to write a letter home, about your “visit” to the country, using the same information that was included in your presentation in order to determine your individual grade.
