This is a list of the new 7 wonders of the world based on online voting from around the world.  

• Firstly, your assignment consists of choosing (1) of "The New 7 Wonders of the World" and research it further through the bookmarked websites and videos assigned to each monument.  

• Secondly, develop a collage/poster composed of maps, historical facts, and the particular cultural characteristics of the region and the people where the wonder/monument is located at. 

Organize and illustrate the collage/poster with text,   images, maps, and/or drawings depicting your monument.  

Be creative, the collage/poster needs to motivate and persuade people to visit, show what an exciting, and magnificent wonder of the world you've chosen.
