Countries around the World

Today we wrote "Where Am I?" Riddles for various United States. Your homework tonight is to find the name of a country outside of the US, name three cities within it, and for extra credit locate the country by latitude and longitude. (to the closest degree, no minutes necessary!) You may post this information on the blog, or you can bring it to school. Don't forget your puzzle of the week, and to study for your vocabulary test!
