You must also complete all the demonstration portions of the rubric.  Please make sure you get this to me by Thursday!  Thanks for all your hard work.

Basic Facts?

Some of you have struggled a little early with the "Basic Facts" section in your Demonstrations Rubric.  Here is a few examples of what we are looking for:

- HDI Rank
- Population
- Capital city
- Style of government
- Major Religion
- Language spoken
- Large/Major/Well-known cities
- Literacy Rates

If you can think of other basic facts about countries, please feel free to list them.  Remember, you can retake these parts of the Demonstrations Rubric whenever you would like.  Any questions, please ask.
