• SEZ are areas in a country where international companies can do business without many limitations. For example companies pay little tax, few environment rules.
  
• International companies choose to put their factories in SEZ's, because the labour is cheap.
• You will find light industry in SEZ's around the world (and also in China

This means:

- some regions in China are very rich (east), other regions very poor (west)

What does SEZ stand for?

1. Super Expected Zombies
2. Special Economic Zone
3. Special Ecological Zone
4. Special Euro Zone

Wat is an SEZ?

Country research project

1. What kind of reports have you made this year?
2. What was the hardest part of making a report?

2 groups in the class:

- students who choose geography (if you are not sure, you belong to this group)

- students who do not choose geography for sure

The project is in pairs. So you need to choose a partner who also chooses geo

Country research project

Remember - write this down

Assessment:  For the project you will be assessed with a mark which counts 2 times

Submission and deadline:

You submit it via magister - ELO (in PDF) ànd on paper.

If your work has not been submitted in Magister (in pdf) and on paper, it will not be marked.

The final deadline is week 25 (22nd-25th of June).

If you do not have a geo lesson that day, hand in your report in my pigeon hole in the teacher lounge. Handing in too late is minus one point every day.

Instruction document
