1ST 9 WEEKS PRESENTATION (DUE THE WEEK OF 28 SEPTEMBER 2009):
WORKING BY YOURSELF, YOU WILL RESEARCH AND PRESENT A POWERPOINT PRESENTATION 
OVER ONE OF THE MAJOR RELIGIONS OR DENOMINATIONS IN THE WORLD.  YOU MUST HAVE 
A MINIMUM OF 16 SLIDES IN YOUR PRESENTATION (THE FIRST ONE BEING A TITLE 
PAGE, THEN 15 SLIDES OF INFORMATION).  PRESENTATIONS WILL BEGIN ON 28

2ND 9 WEEKS PRESENTATION (DUE THE WEEK OF 14 DECEMBER 2009):
WORKING ALONE, EACH STUDENT WILL SELECT A NON-ENGLISH LANGUAGE SPEAKING 
COUNTRY IN THE WORLD AND BECOME AN EXPERT ON THAT COUNTRY (ONLY ONE STUDENT

TYPE OF GOVERNMENT, ECONOMY, RELIGION, SOCIAL STRUCTURE, FOODS THAT THEY EAT, 
THE DAILY LIFE OF A NORMAL MEMBER OF SOCIETY, ETC., AND ANYTHING ELSE THAT 
YOU FIND INTERESTING ABOUT YOUR COUNTRY OF CHOICE.
YOU MUST GIVE A 10-MINUTE PRESENTATION ON YOUR COUNTRY OF CHOICE.  IT IS 
ENTIRELY UP TO YOU TO DECIDE WHAT TYPE OF PRESENTATION YOU WILL DO.  IT COULD 
BE A SKIT, POWERPOINT, GAME SHOW, A NATIVE DANCE, ETC
