Day 2
Today you will continue researching about the culture of your new friends!

Today, as a class, you will fill in a KWL chart. Before beginning, work together to fill in the K (know) section and the W (Want to learn) section. At the end of today, you will fill in the L (learned) section.

Your group will need to find information on the following areas about the other class's country: You will fill in this information on the "Basic Info" worksheet attached here. Note: You will need to find information for your own country and use it to fill in the second half of the worksheet.
 * Current leader of the country
 * Population estimate for the country
 * Government system (they should know this from the previous class)
 * Capital of the country
 * Location (include bordering countries, continent, and oceans)
 * Currency
 * Three largest cities

Here are some websites to get you started. The rest of the researching will be up to you!

During Day 3, you will be studying the art, music, and literature of England/Mexico. In a couple days, you will have a chance to talk with a student in the class in the country you have been studying! Therefore, you must be well informed before then, so you can ask intelligent questions and get the most out of the experience.
