What can we learn about the physical and human features of Brazil? - Presentation

The educational material outlines a comprehensive learning opportunity about Brazil's physical and human features. Students are encouraged to explore Brazil's geographical location as the largest country in South America, situated on the eastern side of the continent with an extensive Atlantic coastline. They are tasked with creating a fact file, which includes researching Brazil's population, official language, national flag, form of governance, bordering countries, and the distance from the UK. Furthermore, the material prompts students to delve into the individual characteristics of Brazil's 26 states by forming small groups, each member focusing on a different state, and using online resources to gather information due to limited availability of books on the topic.

Additional information provided to the students highlights Brazil's status as the fifth largest country in the world, with diverse geographical features such as the Amazon River, the Pantanal wetlands, pampas, and coastal plains. The country's biodiversity is emphasized with an array of species, including 600 mammals, 1,600 birds, 1,500 fish, and over 100,000 insects. Students learn about urban centers like São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, where a significant portion of the population resides. The material also touches on historical population changes, the current president as of 2022, and the capital city, Brasília. To engage students further, they are challenged to create a quiz with questions of varying difficulty about Brazil and compete in pairs, aiming to outscore their opponents. Additionally, they are invited to research and present on some of Brazil's most famous individuals across various fields, including football, motorsport, politics, music, literature, modelling, spirituality, and art.
