Your topic can discuss any aspect of the topic (mythology, great figures, geographic location, culture, etc...). Please make sure that you notate your references. There are two internet references that are not allowed: Wikipedia and Snopes. All other references are accepted, including first person interviews. Also, please continue to bring in a current event about the continent that we are discussing that week. Your Geography assignments will be assigned weekly. I look forward to walking through some of the worlds most beautiful locations in our discussions. If you have any questions, please let me know.
