My unfamiliar North American country fact file - Worksheet

This worksheet serves as a template for students to create a fact file about an unfamiliar North American country. To begin, students are prompted to identify the country they are researching and include a map to provide geographical context. Key details such as the country's population and the name of its capital city are to be noted. Additionally, students are asked to list other significant towns or cities, the primary language spoken by the inhabitants, and the currency in use.

Beyond these basic facts, the worksheet encourages a deeper exploration of the country's identity and economy by asking for the main export, which provides insight into the nation's industry and global trade relationships. Students are also required to provide general information that could include historical, cultural, or political details that define the country. Geographical features such as mountain ranges and rivers should be documented, offering an understanding of the country's physical landscape. The worksheet concludes with reflective questions, prompting students to consider what they already know about North America and to identify its main geographical features, as well as to think about the location of all the North American countries. This comprehensive approach ensures that students gain a holistic view of their chosen country within its continental context.
