Some resources to guide you

This project requires you to use a lot of different resources. Some can be found on the internet, but you might find it helpful, as well, to look at other sources. Here are some suggested places to look for information:

• written resources: books, almanacs, atlases, magazines, and, of course, websites.
• video resources: from educational TV channels, for example (some might be found on the Internet as well)
• human resources: teachers, people who are either from, or have travelled to, the country you're looking at AS WELL AS your classmates, who might have stumbled across something helpful to you while they were doing their work!
