This website is the result of research by fourth and fifth grade students at Pleasant Grove Elementary School. They've done a wonderful job and their pages cover quick facts, people, history, plants and animals, and so many other topics. The webmasters must be baseball fans, since they've included a brief biography of Sammy Sosa. Additional links and a bibliography are provided and you can get a brief introduction to the people who authored these pages. Take advantage of the downloadable .gif flag image for your projects.
Topics includean extensive history, some geography, religion, government, economy, and society.
Dominican Republic - A Cultural Profile Project Dominican immigrants to Canada bring with them many customs and values different from what is found in their new home. The Department of Citizenship and Immigration has put together this country profile so that Canadians can learn a bit about the Dominican Republic and life there. Section overviews include climate, history, and family life. A graphic artist may moonlight as a special education teacher, or a psychologist as a hairdresser. Those of you who like statistics are going to love this website.
