Project 01 - Global Product Map

So you've been introduced to Global Business. But, just where do all the products you purchase made? Do you know? Well, let's not guess, lets discover!

For this project you will make a list of 5 different items that you have purchased (or would like to purchase). The products must all be different--no repeats of different kinds of shoes or cars). Now, go onto the Internet and research where those products were manufactured. As you research, write the country of origin beside the corresponding product on your list. After you have completed the list, you will sign into your Google Account and create an interactive Google Map. The map should have 5 placemarkers on it (one for each product). Each placemarker should be labeled with the name of your product and its country of origin. See Example below...

Once you have finished your interactive map, you will embed it on your Student Blog. Your Blog Title must say "Project 01-Global Product Map" and you must write your definition of Global Business above the map and a paragraph under the map describing the connections you "see" in global business and business in a global society affects business in the United States. Projects will be graded utilizing the Grading Rubric posted here
