Task #2-Showcase the neat information that you learned about your place in a "Window to the World" poster. Get a 12x18 piece of poster board and make a window frame. The frames will contain information and illustrations that share what you discovered on your journey.

Task #3-Write or E-mail a child that lives in Australia. Included in your letter should be three questions you have about their life and also three things you want to share about yours. (Your teacher will set you up with an address to write or (e-pals) e-mail.)

*Final Task -Now that you have completed all of the tasks; it is time to answer the question "Would you like to trade places with a child in Australia?" Take a vote in your group about whether you'd like to trade places. Choose a secretary to write one to two paragraphs explaining your group's decision. Choose a spokesperson to present your decision to the class.
