How to Teach a Country Research Project

February 17, 2022 By Holly Rachel

I love teaching a research project on a country. They are so much fun and students gain so much from studying them in your social studies curriculum. I have found that students find them fascinating and love learning interesting facts and recognising the similarities and differences between the country they are learning about and their own way of life.

What is a country research project?

In simple terms, as part of social studies, students create a report on a country by researching facts about it. Their country report could be a wide range of presentation mediums such as a written project, an oral presentation, a poster, worksheets, a performance or even a video, you can be as creative as you like! Student can use a range of methods to research their chosen country. This could be through books, the internet, interviews or from teaching presentations and information sheets.

Why are country research projects important?

It is so important that we teach students about different cultures to their own and to accept and respect differences, as well as to look for the similarities between us all. This is especially important in the interconnected world we live in today.

There are so many benefits to teaching a research project on a country. These include:

-Gaining knowledge about new places and different culture

-Sparking curiosity and a love of learning

-Understanding and accepting differences

-Recognising that even though cultures may have differences, we all share similarities

-Gaining a deeper understanding of their own culture as they learn about others

-Because they are so much fun!

How to do a country research project

A research project on a country may be part of your curriculum, or you may teach the project as part of a whole school cultural week. Alternatively you could set the project as homework for your class. It’s also a great idea to use the project to support learning across other subject areas. For example, students could use the knowledge they gain from their country study and use it in their writing, such as a story setting or an information text. Students could recreate art from the country or develop map skills.

What to include in a country research project

This is the fun part! You may wish your students to lead their own research and report on the areas that interested them, or you may wish to give some guidance. Some great ideas for your research project on a country could include:

Identify the particular country on a map of the word. Where is it located? What continent is the country in? What is the capital city? You could look for physical geographical features such as mountains and rivers. Does the country border any seas? What are the neighbouring countries?

Research the country’s flag. What does the flag tell us about the country? What is the population? What sort of climate does the country have? Students could use graphic organizers to help them record the information they find.

Food is such a great way to learn about a country. It really tells us a lot about the sort of flora and fauna that can be found the country. It can also tell us a lot about the climate of the country. Is it common to preserve food in a particular way? For example through pickling or using spices? Why might this be?

This is such an important skill. As we become more globally connected, learning an additional language is such a valuable skill. You could start with some key phrases and greetings.  Maybe choose certain activities where you could speak in language, such as greeting each other first thing in the morning, or asking. ‘How are you?’ after lunch.

Sight seeing

Learn about the iconic landmarks of the country. When, how and why where they built? What do they tell us about the country and the people who live there?

Recreate art from the country. This could be a study of a particular artist or art movement. Students could recreate a particular painting. What does the painting capture? What can we learn from it? Or perhaps use a painting from the country as inspiration for students’ own work, this could even span different subjects. Create a bulletin board of the students’ own work!

Teach students songs from the country. This is also a great way to learn a language. Listening to and singing songs can really help students gain a valuable insight into the culture.

Sweden Country Study

6 Fun and Engaging Activities for Your Country Research Project

Country Research Activities

Country research projects can be a powerful tool for helping students understand the diversity of cultures and the world around them. This type of project offers a unique opportunity for students to immerse themselves in another culture, learn about different customs and traditions, and broaden their perspectives. To make sure that your students are enjoying the process while they learn, it is important to incorporate fun and engaging activities into your country research unit. Here are six ideas to get you started.

I really like this project because it is an easy way to introduce students to different people, cultures and countries. Not a lot of people get to experience travel to other countries when they are young – this is the next best thing!

Virtual Tour

Take your students on a virtual tour of the country they are researching. Use Google Earth or other virtual tour tools to give students a visual experience of the country. I have used National Geographic on oculus. Here are some other resources to get your students excited and learning about the world.

Cultural Presentation

Have students present what they have learned about the country’s culture, including traditional customs, music, and food. Create a museum tour, where each student has a display on their desk representing their country and their research. Invite family to the event.

Music & Dance

Play traditional music from the country and have students learn and perform a traditional dance.

Arts & Crafts

Encourage students to create art projects related to the country they are researching. This could include creating traditional clothing, designing flags, or painting scenes from the country.

Have students learn a traditional theater art form or perform a traditional skit from the country that they researched.

Geography & Tech

Create an interactive map for students to use as they learn about the country’s geography and location. Have students mark important landmarks, cities, and geographical features.

These activities are designed to keep your students fully engaged and having fun while they learn about different cultures and the world. By integrating these activities into your country research unit, you will not only make the project more enjoyable for your students, but you will also increase the likelihood that they will remember what they have learned.

Incorporating a mix of hands-on activities, creative projects, and interactive experiences will help keep students motivated and interested throughout the project. Whether they are creating a virtual tour of the country they are studying, designing a cultural festival, or cooking a traditional dish, students will be learning in an engaging and memorable way.

If you are looking for more direction on how to plan and execute a successful country research project , be sure to check out my country research project for kids packet. This comprehensive resource includes everything you need to get started, including a student introduction letter, a detailed rubric for assessment, and a step-by-step guide for conducting research. Whether you are a seasoned teacher or a beginner, this packet will help make your country research project a success.

I used this during the World Cup for my students to become more engaged! We worked on our country project while we played the world cup in the background. Students got to choose a country that was currently still in the running, and we made a bracket to see whose country would win!

Such an engaging resource that was seamlessly integrated into our curriculum! Very little hassle, but with great outcomes! Thank you!

This resource was amazing. I needed something to connect to our curriculum for writing about countries and this was it. It matched up perfectly, but honestly presented better writing than what would have come from just our curriculum.

Writing a report on a foreign nation or your own country is a great way to better understand and appreciate how people in other parts of the world live. Get started on your voyage with tips from the Nat Geo Kids Almanac .

Choosing a location to research:  Pick the country of your ancestors, one that’s been in the news, or one that you’d like to visit someday.

Passport to Success:  A country report follows the format of an expository essay because you’re “exposing” information about the country you choose.

Gathering information is the most important step in writing a good country report. Look to Internet sources, encyclopedias, books, magazine and newspaper articles, and other sources to find important and interesting details about your subject.

ORGANIZE YOUR NOTES

Put the information you gathered into a rough outline. For example, sort everything you found about the country’s system of government, climate, etc.

WRITE IT UP

Follow the basic structure of good writing: introduction, body, and conclusion. Remember that each paragraph should have a topic sentence that is then supported by facts and details. Incorporate the information from your notes, but make sure it’s in your own words. And make your writing flow with good transitions and descriptive language.

ADD VISUALS

Include maps, diagrams, photos, and other visual aids.

PROOFREAD AND REVISE

Correct any mistakes, and polish your language. Do your best!

101+ Creative Geography Project Ideas For Students

Geography projects can be fun and engaging for students to learn about the world around them. Whether you’re a teacher looking for ideas or a student brainstorming topics, geography projects allow you to get creative and explore concepts like culture, environment, politics, and more through hands-on activities. 

In this blog post, we’ll share some creative geography project ideas to consider for your next assignment or homeschool lesson. The possibilities are endless when you think outside the box and tie geography into art, building, research, and other interests. We hope these ideas spark inspiration for your next geography project! 

The blog will include creative ideas, from designing cultural dress and food to constructing landform models. With the right innovative spin, geography projects can be exciting and enriching learning experiences.

What is a Geography Project?

Table of Contents

A geography project is an assignment where students research and present information about a specific geographic topic or location. Students typically choose a country, U.S. state, city, landform, or other geographic subject to focus their project on. 

The project often involves creating a visual display like a poster, diorama, or digital presentation along with a written report. The report summarizes key facts and details about the geographic subject, including location, climate, terrain, culture, economy, history, and more. 

Geography projects allow students to build research skills while learning in-depth about a place that interests them. The presentation portion adds a creative element and helps share what they learned. Overall, geography projects aim to expand students’ knowledge of world geography and cultures.

Importance Of Hands-On Learning In Geography

Here are a few thoughts on the importance of hands-on learning in geography education:

• Promotes spatial thinking skills: Working with maps, globes, imagery, etc., helps students develop spatial reasoning abilities. Visualizing relationships between places and patterns in geographic data is a crucial skill. Hands-on activities make these tangible.
• Engages multiple senses: Using 3D models, doing fieldwork, and working with photos/videos appeals to visual, tactile, and other forms of sensory learning. This can help concepts stick.
• Develop practical fieldwork skills: Using compasses, GPS, surveying equipment, and GIS software helps build skills used by geographers in the workplace. Practice makes students comfortable with applying technology.
• Encourages active learning: Instead of passively listening to lectures, hands-on learning allows students to construct and apply geographic knowledge actively. This promotes deeper, long-lasting understanding.
• Makes connections to the real world: Fieldwork helps students connect abstract concepts to real-world environments and spatial patterns. Seeing geography in action leads to greater interest and engagement.
• Promotes collaboration : Many hands-on activities are collaborative, developing teamwork and communication skills. Group projects and discussions also aid learning.

In summary, hands-on learning engages students, reinforces concepts through experience, and helps build essential skills. It’s an invaluable part of a well-rounded geography education.
