Virtual Voyager #1 - Geography

     A few weeks ago, you became a country's newest student ambassador when you drew the country's name and checked out a book/culturegram.  For some students, their countries were familiar and for others, their countries were very foreign.  Regardless, you are now linked to that country and you will be together all year long!  Today, your task will be two-fold.  (That means you have to do two things...)
     First, you will need to summarize your country's absolute location in 20 words or less.  HINT - Absolute location includes an exact "address" in which your country is located.  (Latitude/Longitude, hemisphere(s), continent, capital, etc.)  Then, you will need to summarize your country's relative location in 20 words or less.  HINT - Relative location includes other countries or landforms that can be found in and/or around your country's location.
     For example, image I was assigned the United States of America.  In 20 words or less, I need to summarize the absolute location of the USA.
1.  Located in the Northern and Western Hemispheres, the USA and its capital, Washington D.C., are located at 38°53′N/77°01′W. (19 words)
In 20 words or less, I need to summarize the relative location of the USA.
2. The USA is bordered by Canada (north), Mexico (south), the Pacific Ocean (west), and the Atlantic Ocean (east). (18 words)
     Make sure you proofread and post using your class code (1A, 1W, 2A, 4W, etc) as well as your first and last name. This will be graded.
