P7-Exchange+Rates

=Project 7 - Exchange Rates Interactive Poster=

Now that you have been introduced to foreign exchange and international finance, let's practice some exchange rates. For this project you will research the current exchange rates for 6 countries as compared to the U.S. dollar. Then you will illustrate your research on an interactive poster (using Glogster). Along with the exchange rate illustrations, list will give at least 2 reasons why the currency values are changing and explain how these changes might affect international business activities. Lastly, include a video of a current business/financial news story that is related to your chosen country. You may use the Google Currency Converter to help with conversions, but you will still need to research reasons why currency values change, etc.

Your interactive poster will be graded utilizing the rubric below.
