HIT: Countries of the World. Thank you all very much!! =20 The CIA World Factbook at http://www.odci.gov/cia/publications/factbook/ =20 Try these websites: http://www.odci.gov/cia/publications/factbook/index.html http://www.countryreports.org/ http://www.countrywatch.com/@school/ http://www.geographia.com/ http://www.infoplease.com =20 Background Notes from the CIA are wonderful. bottom link in my signature. Select History and then countries. Can also surf around the other ones I have there. =20 Perhaps some of these will work for you.=20 http://memory.loc.gov/frd/cs/=20 http://worldfacts.us/=20 http://countrystudies.us/ =20 Here's the CIA Factbook which has info on most countries: http://cia.gov/cia/publications/factbook/index.html =20 =20 The CIA World Fact book has a very easy to use Country search. This is the address: http://www.cia.gov/cia/publications/factbook/ Please post a hit. I have a lot of site for US states and info but have not found many for countries.=20 =20 I'm sending you the URL for a section of my library site. I've created = a list of extensive links for researching countries on the web. I = especially like the one called "Worldwide Governments on the Web" because it has = many official sites of countries, regions, provinces, cities, as well as = travel guide type links, such as Lonely Planet. Go to: http://www.marisths.org/academics_library_geography.htm (there's an underline between academics & library and between library = and geography) =20 Go to CIA.ORG and click on world fact book. This should help. =20 If you have access to SIRS Discoverer, It's in a middle school friendly = format. There are usually two articles that my students use for country = studies - the country facts and the culture facts, they answer all the = questions. If they need to find food related info, I have them go to = google.com and type in the country name and the word cuisine. For most = countries they will get info on how food is prepared and what the main = diet is plus they'll get tons of recipes for that country. The CIA site = is great, too, just too much info for middle school! =20 Try this website. Very similar to countrywatch but done by the CIA. http://www.cia.gov/cia/publications/factbook/ =20 Gail Borio CAK HS Lbrary gaborio@esper.com =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-==-=-=- All LM_NET postings are protected by copyright law.
