more resources, and the beginning of the Sub-Saharan Africa section

More online resources for your paper:

National Geographic Example: "Biodiversity Amazon Rainforest" in the search window netted 49 results. "2016 Olympics Rio" got 26 results. Often these sites come with spectacular photographs.

NationMaster Statistics, statistics, statistics. The real danger here is that you'll get distracted by all the cool stuff here (ranking nations by obesity, telvevision use, church attendance, happiness, cannabis use) and forget to do your research (literacy, oil use, most murderous, TFR, infant mortality). This one is a keeper.

Sections 01 & 05! Read p. 223, 224, and the first half of p. 226 in the text. Friday we will have a 10-point quiz on this material. I will also collect your maps (worth 5 points) in class Friday morning.
