On to Country Spotlights

With region posters going up in the halls, it is time to move onto our country spotlight posters.  Students researched the geography, demography and government of a selected country.  We used CIA World Factbook and the library's subscription to World Book Online (username: wautoma password: hornets) to gather our facts. Then using Microsoft Word, we created posters of our country!  After they are graded and revised, the country posters will be added to the Region Close-Ups learning hotspots around school. Check back soon to see some photos of our work or come on into school and check them out!

Region Close-Ups: Country Spotlights

Southern Europe...Oceania...Middle East...Central Africa...Where!!??!!

Students have spent the month of December working on getting to know world regions and the countries within them. Small groups were assigned a region and the task of creating a "Learning Hotspot"- a large, wall size poster that included their region's name, a map of the region, a world inset map to show where the region is located and some important facts about the region. Check out some of them below.
