What makes a good place to live: Scenario

Project Scenario

People have many choices today about where they live in the world. In your lifetime you may have an opportunity to choose a new location for your residence.

During this project, you will work with a team of three classmates to research countries on three different continents. Posing answerable questions and finding answers through research is only part of your task. Your team will also develop a list of factors that influence your personal choices regarding a place to live.

Your team will present your selection of "The Best Country to Live In" to the other research teams. You may be creating a persuasive and informative PowerPoint presentation, a poster and product or demonstration, or a letter home to your parents which focuses on a current event in your country.
