Introduction

By studying other nations and their people
and cultures, we can learn how to better appreciate people who are
different from ourselves.
|

country in Africa. As you complete your research, you will prepare nine slides for a PowerPoint presentation.

1. Read through your entire worksheet
so that you are familiar with the information you need to locate.
2. Visit the resources above to collect the
information for the worksheet and which will go on the slides for your
PowerPoint Presentation.
3. When your worksheet is complete, go into
PowerPoint. Choose the title slide first. Put the name of your country as
the title. For the subtitle, put: Researched by (your name). Continue with
the eight remaining slides.

Teacher Tips
|
Be sure to read the entire worksheet first
because you won't find the information in the same order as the questions
on the worksheet.
After you have visited one of the resources
above, leave it by clicking on the BACK button until it brings you back to
this webquest.
Be sure to complete all the worksheet before
going into PowerPoint.

Conclusion
|
By understanding that people have backgrounds
quite different from our own, we can hopefully understand why not everyone
acts and behaves just like us. This is important so that we can all learn
to get along with each other.
