You asked for student comments.
#7 Group- (Matt and Olivia) were really surprised at the size of Antarctica.
#10 Ben and Tim were impressed by how much of Costa Rica was dedicated to
national parks.
#9 -We (Chelsea, Luke, and Chris) were ready to give up and then our teacher
remembered an old set of encyclopedias (1971) and in there we looked up
tapestry and found Arras.
The class is wondering with the thousands of responses you get, how you
compile all of the answers to check them.
Thanks a lot for once again providing my students with a challenge that was so
educational but fun too.
