You will be taking a tour around the world on the internet.  You will be creating a slide show to present to the class and tell about your parents country (ies).  To help you gather information, attached is a Country Table with the following headings: continent, climate, population, language, religion, ethnicity, government, industry, holidays, and other interesting facts.

The Slide Show will consist of one page for each heading mentioned.  You want to take some pictures, so don't forget your camera.   To take pictures here are three easy steps.
