Sharing Our Learning Using Topographical Maps

Our class finished learning about the geography of Peru, Tunisia, Ukraine and India.  As a final project, we worked with a parter to create a topographical map (using clay) of one of the countries, research information on a geographic feature from that country and then write a paragraph about it.  To research, we used the encyclopedias in the library and the internet.  Was it ever hard to find information in an encyclopedia! 

Here are our completed projects:

 The Thar Desert is in northern India . A small amount of people live there. People raise sheep where there is enough water. The Thar desert can be called the Great Indian Desert. You should visit this place.

The Amazon rainforest is the largest rain forest in the world.

20% of the world’s oxygen is made in this area.

2 700 million acres of rainforest are burned each year.

By the year 2012 would destroy around 75% of the amazon.

It would be the best place to visit.
