2.  A map of the province itself (with cities, rivers, mnts etc.)

6.  Customs and traditions peculiar to that region

7. List of sources: websites visited, pictures, music...

8.  You must prepare a handout of important points you want the class to remember as you will be tested on it.  The handout must include: 1) the name of the province, 2) capital of the province, 3)  3 products produced in your province
