Today in class you will be introduced to the CIA World Factbook. Your task is to retrieve the information needed to answer questions about our nation and many other countries of the world. You will need to find data by exploring the Factbook, and you will need to analyze and interpret some of the more complex questions in order to find these answers. By the time you finish, you will be able to navigate your way around this fascinating site with ease, and you will become familiar with the wealth of available material about every single nation on earth.
You will work in groups of three, so you can help each other find all the information. One member will enter the answers in their blog.
All the questions are to be answered in complete sentences.
This is important: please list the first and last names of the members of your group. Write these names in your post before you answer any questions.
Any questions you don't answer in class are to be done for homework.
The CIA World Factbook is the only source you may use for this assignment.
The CIA World Factbook can be found by clicking here.
The 25 questions you need to answer can be found by clicking here.
If you finish in class, go to Freerice.com and see how many Geography questions you can answer!
Last, but not least, if you still have not created your blog, emailed me the URL, and posted your Six Word Memoir, you must do that this weekend. Points will be deducted if you do not complete this by Monday night. Email me if you have questions.
Good luck, have fun, wish me luck at my conference, and I will see you next week!
