WHAT ARE THEY LIKE?

Off the top of your head, without referring to reference books or the atlas, email us a description from your group of your perceptions about the other country.

Try to answer these questions as fully as you can. If your class doesn't know for sure, give it your best guess - we're sure the answers will be very interesting. (In fact, we think it'll be very funny to see what we think of each other at this early stage!) At the end of the project, in July, we'll do this again to see how much we've learned about Britain and New Zealand. If you have more than one answer to any question, send us all of them - it'll be cool to see the range of impressions we have of each other.
