Once you have selected your wonder, assign each person in your group to a task to either search for map, visuals, physical, or human geography related to the wonder.

Once you have collected your information, design a powerpoint presentation to show to the rest of the class.  Your powerpoint must be at least twelve slides in length.  After the presentations are completed, you must at that point subit an essay defending your choice for the greatest wonder of all (300 words).
