EUROPEAN UNION

This month we are learning about Europe and especially the EU. For the project this month you must take one of the newer countries to join the EU (see list below) and research it under the following headings:

• Location: display a map showing surrounding countries and or bodies of water.
• Flag
• Population
• Language
• Life expectancy
• Political system: is it ruled by a monarch or a president?
• Main geographical features (major mountains, rivers etc)
• Traditional foods
• One or two other interesting facts about the country

Countries you can choose from: Malta, Cyprus, Slovenia, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria.
I'll give you the chart paper to display your project. Start researching now! The link to the CIA World Fact book above may help you.
