All good journalists do background prospecting before they begin writing their news articles.  We must also prospect for information that will give us a good understanding of this complicated country.  As a team of 2 we will each select an area to prospect and then present our findings to the class.  In this way we will all gain the necessary tools to begin work on our final project--a newspaper about China.  Please consider the sites below, but also use textbooks, library resources and any other sources you believe will help you with your task.
