Please consider these topics:

• Geographical situation
• Historical situation
• Native populations
• Life of the British in the colony
• Economical interests
• Independence
• Other special aspects

Please finish your work today and be able to present it tomorrow. Divide up the research, but everybody has to have all the facts and notes in the end. Do not print out, take notes of the important things, so that your presentation is ready when you leave. You may write on word or keep pictures on the computer for your presentation.

Your work will be marked and there is no "He has got all the papers and he is ill today." That would be the worst mark. No mercy!!

Be economical about your time, don’t try to write too much, don’t play around. Don’t allow others in your group to be lazy. Good luck!
