New project

Today we handed in our research project and learned that we have a new one. We worked on this small project for the remainder of the class. These are the directions for the 3 day research project:

Gather the following background information for these sub-Saharan nations (plus our fine country) in your OneNote.

After you have completed your research, post it on your blog. This is due Friday, December 18.

50 points.



NIGERIA, ETHIOPIA, SUDAN, KENYA, SOUTH AFRICA (and, for comparison purposes, the USA)



1. What is the Total Population of each of these nations?

2. What is the TFR?

3. What is the Crude Birth Rate?

4. What is the Crude Death Rate?

5. What is the overall Life Expectancy?

6. What is the infant mortality rate?

7. What is their colonial experience? Who did they gain their independence from, and when?


Find and copy a map of each country, along with the country's flag.


Find and copy a population pyramid for each nation.


Would you consider each of these nations a developed country or a developing country? Why?
