4. What are the major and minor religions in that country?
5. What are some unique cultural practices in that country?
6. What is a unique food in that country? Describe it

One slide only per guide question!
• Each slide must answer one guide question
• Each slide must have a picture
• Therefore, if your score is perfect, a country is worth 15 points.
• Thus, the whole project is worth 105 points
• But the denominator we will use is just 100.
• The potential excess 5 points will serve as a potential bonus.
• use your creativity! :)
