  1. I chose Great Britan and Viet Nam for my project. I chose Great Britan because I want to go there when I get older. I also want to learn about their education to see if they are similar to ours. I chose Viet Nam because we haven't learned a lot about them. There were other countries we didn't learn about but I chose this one.

  2. For my Social Studies performance assessment I chose the two countries of South Africa and China. I chose these two countries to compare and contrast because they both have different ways of running their economies. South Africa is a republic economy that gives there citizens the rights that they deserve. But China is a communist government that is powered by one leader that tells China’s people what to do. They also do not have the rights that we Americans have. I think that this is a big thing to look at and contrast. They are also alike in many ways too. The economies of South Africa and China have skyrocketed in the past couple of years, and have become world leaders in trade also. During this economic boom they have had better ob opportunities for the citizens of their countries. They also have a high population growth over the past years.

I would also like to find more out about Afghanistan because they have many wars and I would like to know why. I also chose these two countries because they are very different.

The reason why I chose these two countries were because they are two totally different areas on the Earth. Also one day I would like to visit or live in New Zealand.

  7. The two countries I chose for the social studies performance assessment were Italy and china. I chose them because, although they are two different countries with very different cultures and lifestyles, I liked learning about them. I chose China because I thought it was very interesting to learn about. It was very interesting to learn about how kids do exercises every morning and learn a lot of things at a young age. Also China's economy is growing rapidly, lots of things are made in China, and there way of living is very different. I chose Italy because it was very different from China; they have more freedom than China. There economy wasn’t very poor and recently changed it has been a stable economy. I have always loved Italy so I thought it was a good idea to do Italy and china because they are so different.

  11. The two countries I picked where Italy (from Europe) and Taiwan ( from Asia). I picked these two countries because I thought they both where going to have a lot of differences because they were in two different continents. Also I picked these two because I also liked them and wanted to know more about them. I also thought these where two good countries to use compare and contrast on because they both have some things in common and have a lot of things different from each other.

  19. My two countries are Japan and Italy. These countries are very far apart in location, and are on different continents; Asia and Europe. I chose these countries because of their great difference in culture, but also to find what is similar. Even though they are on different continents, they must have some similarity in religion or culture. I already know a few. They both eat a form of noodles/pasta.

  20. I chose Australia and Tanzania for my project. I chose these countries because both countries are on two different continents, with different economies and lifestyles. Both countries economies are based on different products or resources. The lifestyles of the people living here are also very different. They have activities, jobs, and religions that are native to them. The countries are perfect to compare and contrast because of all the differences between the two.

  22. One of the two countries I chose for my assessment was Australia. The other country I chose was Switzerland. I chose these two countries to compare because I thought it would be neat to compare two countries with completely different environments. Such as Switzerland being cold with snow and Australia being very warm.

  30. The two countries I have chosen for my assessment are England and India! I chose these two countries to compare and contrast because they seem very interesting and fun to learn about.

I would love to visit both of these countries and check out all the cool landmarks such as: The Taj Mahal, Stonehenge, Big Ben and much more!

  31. The countries I chose to do were China and India. I chose to compare and comtrast China and India because even though they are on the same continent, they have two very different economies. They also have pretty different physical features and religions. They have different forms of government and lifestyles. I think it would be very interesting to learn, in more detail, about these countries.

  34. The countries I have chosen to compare and contrast for the performance assessment are Spain and Australia. I am going to compare their economies and cultures/lifestyles. The main reason I have chosen these two countries is that at the beginning of the year these were the two countries I was the most excited to learn about, and it ended up that Spain was more interesting than I first thought it would be, but I don’t know about Australia since we have not learned about it yet. My other reason for choosing these two countries is that I believe that these two countries have different economies and very different cultures. These are my reasons for selecting Spain and Australia to compare and contrast for our social studies performance assessment.

  35. After much thinking and reasoning, the two countries I chose were France and Zimbabwe. I chose Zimbabwe because this is a place of my ancestry. I have also visited this country so I am familiar with some parts of it. France was my other choice because from what I've heard it sounds like it's a beautiful country and it is somewhere that I have never been but would consider visiting. My final reason is that these countries are on different continents and are complete opposites. I thought that this factor could help make my report more interesting.

  36. The two countries I chose to compare and contrast are Cambodia and Luxembourg. I chose these two countries because these two countries are one of a kind an are completely different from one another. For example, they have completely different languages and even look different. Not to mention Luxembourg`s religion is Roman Catholic while Cambodia`s religion is Buddhism. They also grow different agricultural products. Like Luxembourg grows grapes, barely, oats, etc., while Cambodia grows rice, rubber, corn, etc. Well that`s the reason why I chose these two stupendous countries to research on. I hope you too Mrs. Scholl will enjoy this paper that I will make.

  46. For my social studies performance assessment, I chose to do the countries of Portugal and Japan. I chose Portugal because I have almost all of my family living there from both my mom and my dad's side of the family. I also chose Portugal because I already know a lot about it so it will be easier for me. I chose Japan because I thought it would be interesting to learn more about it. I don't think Japan and Portugal have too much in common so it will be interesting to compare and contrast them.I will compare and contrast their education and lifestyles/ culture. I hope Mrs. Scholl likes my social studies performance assessment!! :)

  47. For this performance assessment I have chosen to gather the information from the countries of Pakistan and New Zealand. I have chosen the topics of thier government and lifestyles/ cultures. I have picked there topics because they seem to me that they will have alot of facts and will help me get a good grade on this project. They have similarities and differences, which is what I need to compare in my performance assessment. I have chosen the countries because they have many things in common, but also alot of things to compare as well. They are much a part but much alike in the same way. This is why I choose the countries of Pakistan and New Zealand

  51. I chose Mongolia and Czech Republic as my countries for this assessment. I assumed that this would be a huge challenge because these countries are little known and aren't very easy to compare on account of their little information. Both of these countries were interesting when we studied them in class. I figured that since I didn't know much about their governments and economies, I would choose these topics. I feel that this will be an interesting project and a fun report.
