We have since moved on from fair use and onto another project about a country. My partner Casey and I chose Sweden as our country. To research this country we have used CulturalGrams, Britannica, and World Book to gain information on Sweden. They are all online databases that our school has subscribed to. I like how in CultureGrams you can click on the different tabs of information so it is more organized and easier to read. Britannica on the other hand has one page of information that you have to scroll through. This isn't as convenient and nice to read. After we found our information we put it into NoodleTools. We created note cards on NoodleTools to take down important information. At first I was hesitate towards this because I like to take notes by hand, but as it turns out taking notes on the computer is easier for this project. It was interesting to learn about Sweden and everything it does for it's people. Sweden pays for your education, health care, and much more. Although their tax rate is super high, Swedes live a life of comfort in my opinion. It is a very interesting country to learn about and hopefully one day I will be able to visit it.
Finding information about Sweden wasn't difficult, but picking the topics that were most important to us was. Do we include holidays? The economy? Gestures? This was the hard part of our project so far. In the future I will be able to use this information to educate others on Sweden, and to know more about the world and other countries. Hopefully if I ever travel to Sweden, I will have more knowledge about the country I am in and what the country is all about!
