Directions

Give each group of students a worksheet and a seat in front of a computer (one computer per group). Give each group a country in the English-speaking world such as New Zealand, the United States, or Nigeria. Have them go to the CIA World Factbook (Wikipedia would also work, but it would be easier for them to just swap over to their local language without you knowing. Wikipedia looks the same in Romanian as it does in English) then have them fill out the worksheet using the information they find.
