P6-Exchange+Rates

=Project 6 - Chapter 7 Overview and Exchange Rates=

NOTE: This is an individual project
For this project you will create an **online presentation** that covers all of the important vocabulary and concepts from Chapter 7. Your presentation may be either a Prezi or a VoiceThread. Then, at the end of the presentation, you will illustrate some exchange rates. To complete this portion of the presentation, you will research the current exchange rates for the following countries as compared to the U.S. dollar (Brazil, India, China, Germany, France, Canada, the United Kingdom, and Japan). Then you will illustrate your research with either text and/or pictures in your presentation. Along with the exchange rate illustrations, list at least 2 reasons why the currency values change and explain how these changes might affect international business activities. Lastly, include a video (or a link to a video) of a current business/financial news story that is related to your chosen country. You may use the Google Currency Converter or the XE Converter or the CoinMill Converter to help with conversions, but you will still need to research reasons why currency values change, etc.
