Country Study '06-'07

Web based resources

Return to Menu

This year, each grade level is performing a different task as they gather information about the countries we are focusing on for our Study.  Therefore, this page contains only weblinks to good websites that may help you in your quest for information. 

Don’t forget to use the print sources already in the classroom, the Unitedstreaming site at www.unitedstreaming.com (username and password BOTH cse.s1), in addition to asking our wonderfully diverse staff about countries they are familiar with.
