Which other South American country fascinates you? - Teacher notes

The teacher's notes provide a framework for pupils to independently explore the diverse countries of South America, excluding Brazil. The assignment encourages students to conduct their own research and create a detailed fact file on a South American country of their choice. The fact file should be a product of the students' investigation and not merely a copy of existing materials. To assist in this educational journey, a selection of internet links is provided, including videos tailored to Key Stage 2 learners, covering countries like Chile, Argentina, Peru, Venezuela, Bolivia, and Uruguay. These resources serve as a starting point, offering background information to enrich the pupils' understanding and support their research.

The task is designed to engage students in active learning, prompting them to delve into the main features of their chosen South American country. They are expected to explore various aspects such as geography, culture, history, and any other interesting facts they may discover. By selecting a video that corresponds to their chosen country, students can gain initial insights that will guide their research process. The overarching goal is for pupils to develop their research skills, create informative content, and foster a deeper fascination with the rich tapestry of South American nations.
