Christine 8-7 said...

Christine 8-7 said...

samz said...

M.wanie in question 4 of the geography project, where you have to find the GDP per capita, what should we use to find the information because I've found different information from a bunch of sites.

Unknown said...

also m.wanie for question 5 what country do we have to research the industrial revolution on?

Unknown said...

Also for question 3 where you have to imagine a country where money hasn't been invented. Instead of money do they, barter with objects like livestock and inanimate objects, do they borrow stuff from people or do they steal items from people. Also are they an advanced civilization like us or do they not have technology.

this might be a bit late, but this is a good website about the metis
