If It Were My Home!

This movie is part of my school project on "If It Were My Home". The project was in 3 parts. First part was jot notes on Cultural videos we watched on National Geographic Networks Website. Second part was to create a spreadsheet to compare 10 countries based on 5 criterion. Based on these I ranked them 1-10 (1 means the best and most desirable to live in). Third part was to create a multimedia presentation of our choice to express our findings. Here is the movie I created to show my choice of country I would like to live in. Hope you will enjoy it!
