They should include facts like population, GDP, major religions, language, and flag, as well as physical locations, geographical features, and resources. While they research, students can keep track of facts using a spider map graphic organizer These infographic posters can be printed out, laminated and hung around the classroom creating a beautiful gallery of interesting places around the world! The posters can also be projected onto the board and students can present their facts about their location to the class.
