for 7th and 8th Grade Students

1. Presentation should be at least 15 slides in length.

2. First slide should have the flag and the map of the country or city displayed.

3. A descriptive paragraph telling about the landforms and the bodies of water found in and around the country/city including rivers, valleys etc.

4.Five pictures of tourist attractions found in the country/city with an explanation from you that identifies, locates, and describes each one.

5. Identify the major language of the country/city.

6. Identify the leader of the country/city and the type of government. (Dictatorship, Democracy, etc.)

7. A national holiday that is celebrated in the country /city, the date, and the reason it is celebrated.

8. The major economy.

9. Any other interesting facts you come upon and the current situation in that country/city.

How to get a great mark on your presentation!

When you do your slides don't just copy and paste a picture and information and just read your presentation from the slide. For example, if you have a slide on the Empire State Building have a picture on the slide and just identify it then from your own notes, which you may hold, give the history, size, stories behind the building of it, King Kong climbing it in a movie, and any other information. Do not put all this information on the slide. No one will be able to read it.    

Bring food! If you have Japan bring Sushi for example. Bring a food from that country or city. Wear a costume. Play music.

Prepare your presentation. It shows when you do.

When you  are finished email it to me at ggillin@sainthelenaschool.org also, save it to a cd or flash drive as backup.

Be sure to send it to me at least two days before your presentation!  

When the Country/City turns Green you can click on it and see the presentation.
