Major Change to Gates Foundation HQ Project!!!

There has been a major change to the Gates Foundation HQ Project. The change goes with the "Culture" and "Daily Life" topics.

Daily Life:

In the "Daily Life" topic, I have removed the question referring to population. It was question number 1. The questions are now as follows:
  1. Describe the clothing, including modern and traditional dress.
  2. What are the schools lilke? Describe the system of education?
  3. What leisure activities (entertainment, sports, etc.) do people enjoy?
  4. What is the currency called? How does it compare to the U.S. Dollar?
  5. What are its industries, exports, basis of economy?
  6. What is currently happening in this country? Any current events in the news?

Culture:

In the "Culture" topic, I have removed the number 2 question asking what the country was known for. In "Culture", the population question from "Daily Life" will be added. The questions for "Culture" are as follows:

  1. What are the major religions of this country?
  2. What is the official language? What other languages are spoken?
  3. What national traditions, holidays and festivals are celebrated?
  4. What is the population of this country? Are there several races or cultures living there? If so, what is their relationship to one another?
  5. What types of art are enjoyed?
  6. What are some famous landmarks?

To see all of the questions, please access the Class Wiki. Any questions, please comment below or ask in class.
