 * World Geography Cultural Comparison and Contrast**


 * In this group project, students in the 9th grade World Geography will compare and contrast cultures around the world. Each group will complete a matrix of data regarding their chosen country and will generate charts, presentations, video productions and possibly travel posters using glogster as an example and other various technology solutions. **


 * First level of projects will be to establish a set of short term activities such as Wordle for vocabulary, a group logo that identifies the character of the group members, a use of organizational software such as inspiration or other flow charts to brainstorm the various ideas contributed by the members and to help facilitate their planning. **


 * We want to promote digital citizenship by adding some interaction with classes from the countries they are exploring if possible and set up some skype activities that would take place early and then as a culminating activity in their presentations. **


 * Each group will be required to research and write in collaboration to include all student groups and not only present the information through various media production but also on internet connections like skype, blogs, or wikis to the students we connect to across the world. **
