Introducing+Your+Country+Exercise


 * Introducing Your Country Exercise In this exercise, you will be introducing your country by selecting 4 or 5 of the most important places, in your opinion, in your country. They can cities, landmarks, etc. The first part of the exercise is selecting these places and sending your choices to me by email. I have included a template at this link.

The second part of the exercise is using Google Earth to create a tour of your 5 important places. I have created a screencast to explain how to create a tour at this site: []

Once you have saved your tour, make sure that you will be able to access it during Global Friends Hour on March 23 for everyone's presentation. It is best to save it to your H drive which is provided to all of you by the college. Remember you can also bring your laptops to Global Friends Hour on this day, so if you save your tour to My Places, you can access it there as well.

The third part of the exercise is creating a Scratch video explaining why you choose those 5 places. You can either play the video before or after showing everyone at Global Friends Hour your tour on Google Earth. Here is an example of a video you can make in Scratch. I hope that you will be more creative than I: []

Don't forget! The student that earns the highest number of points for their presentation will receive a $50 gift card to the Campus Bookstore. I cannot wait to see what you create. Remember if you have any questions about the exercise or the programs we are using to create this exercise, please feel free to email me. HAVE FUN!!!! ||
