Find out: a) where in the world their country is, b) the capital city of that country, c) what the country’s flag is. They should add the information to their worksheet. <br> Activity 2: Read the Real life story linked with each country and fill out a page divided in 4 as follows: In box 1 write factual information about the story. In box 2 write good oints/advantages seen in the story. In box 3 write bad points/disadvantages seen in the story.
