- Select a country in Africa, Asia, or Latin America to research. (Review a list of countries here.)
- Select 1 of the following economic concerns to research:
- Gross Domestic Product (GDP)
- Unemployment
- Inflation
- Quantities of specific goods and services
- Exports and imports
- Research data sets for the one economic concern within your chosen country.
- Prepare 1 presentation consisting of 10-12 PowerPoint slides and answer the following questions:
- What are 2–3 relationships between your selected economic concern and that specific country’s economy?
- Support your discussion of the trends with statistical evidence.
- Use graphs and/or data tables of the variables you chose in the discussion.
- What trends do you see in the data sets? Please explain.
- Cite all of your sources and include a reference list
Your research and slides will form the basis for your Unit 4 Individual Project paper, so please be sure to be careful and thorough in your research.
Present your information in a PowerPoint presentation with appropriate pictures/graphics. The main topics or bullet points should appear on the slides with supporting visuals, while the Speaker Notes area (the box at the bottom of each slide, which allows you to type in notes) should be used to go into more depth regarding these main topics. Ensure the notes include information from the sources you have discovered in your research. This is a very important element of your assignments as it will provide you and your audience with supporting explanations that the bullet posts can’t convey.
Your presentation should consist of 10-12 slides of content and the following: a title slide, an introductory slide, a conclusions slide, and a references slide.
