What is Brazil Like?

This week you will be working in small groups to answer the question:

What is Brazil like?

You will have to choose how you want to find your answer but I have provided some links to websites and video clips to get you started.

Once we have had some time to try to find an answer, each group will present it's findings to the rest of the class. Remember there isn't a correct answer. It is up to you and your group to form your own opinions on what you find. Remember to question what you discover and ask why things are the way they are.

Good luck and have fun.
