Great research activity designed to be used in conjunction with the CIA World Fact Book. Get your students used to researching by having them select two countries of their choice to document.I use this assignment when I teach "developed/developing countries" and have students select one of each to research.You can modify this however you want! Every class seems to enjoy it!

Designed for a 12th Grade Participation in Government class in New York. Writing Assignment - Students read 6 different quotes about government, select which one they agree with and explain their answer in a paragraph. How to use - Great assignment to start a conversation about government and it's purpose. Great for beginning of the year. Have a warm up question asking students what they think our government does for them. Show this video "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3QGy2SbXTNE" and discuss
