Country Report

Description

The goal of the assignment is to explore a subject that is of particular interest to you, and demonstrate your ability to think critically. Select a country of particular interest to you: someplace you’ve been, someplace you’d like to go, someplace you’re just interested in, or someplace you’ve never heard of until now! In this paper, you should: Describe the basic geography of this country and its relationship with any bordering countries. Discuss and/or mention the following: major physical features (and any cultural impact/importance); major metropolitan areas (if any); ethnic and/or religious regions; and the native language. Include information about the population, and the status of your country as more developed; less developed; or developing. Highlight cultural details that may be specific to your country. Include a hand-drawn map of the country. Note that this image is not included as part of the five-page minimum length requirement. You can accomplish this by taking a photo or scanning and inserting into your document the map you have drawn, or you can use the Paint feature of your computer, or try out an online sketch app or program (such as Sketchpad, PencilApp, Sumopaint, QueekyPaint, etc.) The choice is yours, but the map drawing is a required component of this assignment and must be included at the end of your essay—it cannot be included as a second attachment or submission. Do not attempt to use a map created by someone else. You must create your own. Provide proper citations, including a bibliography; and if any photos, maps, or illustrations are included, they should be given proper credits. Your paper should be five pages in length, double spaced, with one-inch margins, and twelve-point font. This assignment should be submitted as a .doc or .docx attachment.
