Madagascar

This past week we had fun learning a little bit about the Island Country of Madagascar.
This week I want you to dig a little deeper!
Here is a link to the National Geographic page about Madagascar.

In addition to the assignments I gave you in class, I told you I would have some questions for you to answer on your 2nd sheet of map facts. All of the answers are found on the website I have attached.  Make sure you look at the pictures!
The questions are:
(You do not have to write the question.  Just number it and write the answer.)

1. What to languages do they speak in Madagascar?
2. How many species of Lemur live here?
3. What is the nickname given to the Baobab tree? Why is that the nickname?
 Draw one at the bottom of this page.
4. What does "tsingy" mean?
5. What African country is to Madagascars west?
6.  Look at the page about Madagascar favorites (on the website).
What is the one thing you would most like to do if you visited Madagascar?

Have fun with this assignment! It's so cool to learn about new places!
