7th Grade Periodical Assignment

For your assignment please do the following:

1. Find two articles that are about Mongolia, China, or Taiwan.
a. They need to be 2 out of the 3. So do not bring in two articles on the same country.
b. They can be no older than 5 years.
2. They can be about any aspect of the country: sports, economy, business, technology, politics, natural disasters, human interest, major holidays, etc.
3. You need to write out a bibliography. Just write it on the actual article. Click here for a website to help you figure out how to write your bibliography.
a. NOTE: Do not use easybib.com or something similar. Use this as practice for writing your bibliography. It will make you a better person doing it yourself. Promise.
4. DO NOT BRING SOMETHING IN FROM WIKIPEDIA.
5. You will be doing a mini-speech on Tuesday. Talking about what the article was about, what you found interesting, and how this paints a portrait of what life is like in any of these three countries.
