Assignment-Designing a realistic country: Part One due: October 15th Using the materials from the last three weeks, you must design a realistic third world country using the problem, solution and geography cards that you drew using cartographic principals and the five themes of Geography. For example: If your country has poor water sanitation, you would include water borne illnesses as issues that your country has to deal with (Cholera, Hepatitis, etc…). If you have a dry country you would have problems with drought but not mosquitoes. A dry country would have a map that did not showed savannas or deserts but not rain forests or lakes. You will turn in: 1) A MAP of your country with the 5 themes of Geography and the 3 essential elements of maps on it.- clearly labeled. 2) A one page reflection about your country from each group member- this will detail how YOU WORKED as a group, the contributions you made and details about your country. 3) A log sheet detailing how each member working in class on the project, listing activities completed for each day. On Friday October 12th part two will commence. Each member of your group will make a Blog about our country and interact with other countries on this Blog. Details on the part two Blog will be given on Friday October 12th. Once we are finished, a short presentation will be given by each country.
