Europe Research Project
Research
any European country and tell about how it is now. Then, create a virtual fieldtrip of that country. Since we
can't go there, you will need to take us there with your presentation. Prepare an oral and visual presentation
for the class. In other words, learn about one of these countries and show and tell the class about what you learned
using PowerPoint. Your presentation should be about 10-20 minutes. You may work in groups as long as you
clear it with me and find a way to divide the research and presentation. Everyone in your group is responsible
for the knowledge of the topic, which is also a major part of the grade. It will be counted as at least one test
grade. You must give your presentation on or before your assigned date.

affected the country you choose.
