Weve Got the Power Assessment

Where resources are in the world determines how they are

accessed and used.

Now that we are nearing the end of our unit and you are an expert on how resources is used
assessed, its time for you to show us what you know! To do so, you are going to make a multimedia
presentation about a country and the resources it has. You will present to other students about a place
in the world, how that place uses and manages resources, and the impact of using those resources.
Please be sure that your presentation includes:
What resources the country has, how it accesses them, and how it uses them.
The impact of using these resources.
The different perspectives on using these resources.
How the use of these resources can lead to interactions among a community or with other
communities (these can be positive or negative).
