Global Awareness of Latin American Countries Contest!

The Mayor of Spartanville is having a contest! The winner of the contest will be the person who can best communicate the unique achievements and cultural significance of their country!

 To enter the contest you will submit a 5 paragraph essay sharing the most significant data about your country.  You will research to determine the 3 most important achievements and/or facts that you want the world to know about your country. You will have to support why you feel your information is the most important for people to gain global awareness of your country.  Not only will you create a 5 paragraph report, you will also present your information in front of the Mayor and Council.

Mrs. Smith and Mrs. DeVries will help guide you through the contest requirements.  As you begin to research your country, focus on the following:

·        Natural or Manmade landmarks

·        Economy-what do they produce that benefits the world

·        Historical event that showed the country had grit

·        Human Resources- Inventors, Leaders, etc.

·        A “Wow” event/accomplishment/fact

You will be campaigning, so to speak, for your country. If a person was deciding where to live and it was between your country or a country across the Atlantic, what would you want them to know that would convince them they are going to live in greatest country in Latin America?
