What's the climate like?

Today we started a pretty big project researching the climate of another region or country in the world. We're going to be looking at what that climate is like over a long period of time, preparing a document of some sort, like a presentation or a written document and then presenting our findings to the rest of the class.  As of right now we have decided which part of the world we want to study, created a document in google drive and shared it with the teacher.  Tomorrow we will analyze some examples and do some more research.  Hopefully by the end of the week we will be practicing for our presentations!  It is interesting to see how the choices we make in our research at often influenced by our experiences or interests; in this case, where we have travelled or people we know.  What a wonderful way to make learning meaningful!
