This month you will generate a two-page typed report describing the geography of your country.
You will research and organize your information reporting the different aspects of geograpy.
Your report is to include the following information. It will be easiest to separate these items into individual paragraphs.
Do not forget to write an opening and closing paragraph!
1. Location
Describe the location of your country : On which continent is it located?, What are its neighboring countries?,
Is it landlocked?, Is it a peninsula?, Is it surrounded by water?, Which oceans/seas does it touch?
2. Terrain
Describe the topography and land profile of your country. Be sure and indicate whether your country has deserts,
rain forests, mountains, rivers, lakes, volcanos, hills, flat lands, etc.
3. Climate
Describe the climate variations of your country. In this section you will note how many perceived seasons that
your country has. You need to note the standard temperatures that your country experiences. Do they vary much, or
are they relatively constant?
4. Population
Next you will document your country's current population. Where do most of your country's populace live? Do they
reside in your country's large cities? on country farms? in small villages? Is there an even mixture or are the people
more in one type of place than the other?
5. Products
What sort of agricultural and mineral resources does your country have? What does your country have/grow as their
main product? Does your country contain minerals, ores, fossil fuels, etc.? What are they?
DO NOT INCLUDE INFORMATION REGARDING: Politics, History, Religion, Government, etc. These issues may be noted on your websites; that does not mean you need to use them! You will cover these issues later in the year.
The websites listed below are simply a starting point. Do not limit yourself to these. Explore all other websites (except Wikipedia!). You must have at least three truly-used references for your report. Be careful. With the internet, this is very easy to verify.
Plagiarism will not be tolerated! If your paper is plagiarized your grade will result in a ZERO! Just because you document your resource, that does not mean you have not plagariarized. You must put the information into your own words!
