map test help

For those of you who had a hard time with the Europe & Russia map test- here is alternative study option for you. On YouTube there are a bunch of videos that have mnemonic devices to help with memorization of countries :) here is the link to South America (if you look at his profile, he has videos for middle America & the Caribbean, as well as other regions that we've talked about in class or will talk about in the future) Another helpful site is the Sheppards Software that you used for your very first assignment. Good Luck!

Day in the Life.... Confusion (SORRY!)

Ok there seems to be a lot of questions and confusion about where the questions to part 1 are- I'm sorry I should have done a better job clarifying in class :(
To make this easier for you I will just post them right here!

Topic Questions: You will need to TYPE answers to the questions that go along with each topic.

1. Race: What is the largest heritage or race in your country and what are the other minority races? What language is spoken most widely? Are there any other languages spoken?

2. Religion: What religion is most widely practiced? Are there any other religions practiced in the country? Does your country have an official state church?

3. Education: Is education compulsory (meaning required)? If so, how long must they stay in school? Is school free or does it cost money?  Describe what school is like in your assigned country.  

4. Gender roles: Is it a male or female dominated society? What are the male roles in the home? What are the female roles in the home? What are their dating practices? When do they usually marry?
