You need to sign up for a country prior to beginning your research since no two students are allowed to report on the same country. If you have not yet done so you need to see me immediately.
Research Project
You will be giving a speech in front of your class in the next 6 weeks. Your speech will be informational and factual, and last between 4-6 minutes. Along with your speech you will turn in an outline including: facts in outline form and sources, note cards (if you use them), at least two visual aides that you include while giving your speech, and a separate Reference page with a complete list of the sources you used.
Each of you will select a different country but all of your speeches will include the following information. You must choose a country in, Africa, Asia, or the Middle East. The country must be a former colony or have resisted colonization at one point. If you cannot find information about your country during Imperialism you must choose a different country.
Must include the following:
- Basic demographics: [population, religion, language, literacy rate, GDP (gross
domestic product- compared to the U.S.)]
- Flag (colors, designs, symbolism- what do they represent?)
- History (which colonial power ruled there? What type of control was used?
What were the major exports/imports? When did the country gain it’s
independence? What type of government exists now? What are the
positive/negative effects of imperialism in that nation?
