Next, we will move into how to build the economic system for their country with the highlights being on resources and what their country will export and need to import to provide for the needs of their citizens. 

This week in Socials Studies class the students will share their government for their country with the peers who are bordering their countries.   

Next, we will move into economics, and the students will decide which economy best fits their country and based on their physical features what they will export and need to import from other countries. 

Social Studies this week the students continue working on their government for their country. They will continue working on organizing the geography for their country and collaborating with the students who are bordering their country. 

This week we will be learning about the different types of governments as well as the checks and balances systems. The students choose which government that they would like to have in their country that they started creating before Spring Break. 

Starting today the students will begin creating their own country.  

They will begin by thinking about all the geographical items that they would like to include in their country.  From there, the students will think about the different types of economies and chose an economy that would fit with their country. 

By the end of the year the students, will have put into practice all the things that they have learned this year, by completing this country project.
