1. About this project a thing that I enjoyed the most was finding the pictures for my Personal Connection and put in the video because I had to call my aunt and all my relatives to send me old pictures,or searching on Facebook old video and pictures of the places. 

2. The most challenging/hard part for me during this video was learning how to convert the videos to a mp4 , and the music in mp3. It was hard because it was a thing I never did and i had to learn. 

3. New skills that I have learned are: how to find a source in Easybib, how to make videos in Animoto and put videos on it, I learned how to write the definitions in my own words.

4. Yes, I could have add more music of my country and add more pictures and video to make it longer.

                    -What are the natural characteristics of a specific country?
                     
In a country the specific natural characteristics are the Natural Resources. The Natural Resources can be Renewable and Non-Renewable. Renewable means that you can get something more than one time, like: Corn, Tomatoes, Grapes, Olives, Zucchini, while non-renewable means that you can not get something more than one time, like: Mineral, Quartz or Salt.

               -How does our country define who we are?

Our country define who we are from our culture, our costumes, our food and our music. Everyone comes from different countries, and all of us have a different characteristic, different religion and different language. All that define us is related to our country, because we belong to it. We still have to try to change a little because we are in a different country now, but never forget from where you come from and what are your origins. I think is always important to remember from where we come from, because how you feel at home, in our native country, never we will feel at the same way in a different place.

In this video you can see and learn a lot of things about Italy. Our Traditions, Costumes and Food. 

                          Italy one of the best place in the World

In Earth Science class we made a video that talks about our Country and mostly about our City with all our traditions and all the beautiful places that we have. At the beginning of the video we talked a lot about where the country is located, what is the latitude and longitude of our city, how is the climate, what Landforms and water resources we have and the natural disasters. Italy is located in Europe  and is so small that in the world map is hard to see. Italy has a shape as a boot, and is surrounded by the Ionio sea, Mediterranean sea, Adriatic sea and Tirreno sea. The Latitude and Longitude of my city are 38°18′22″ N  and 16°19′27″ E.  The climate in Italy is sub-tropical, this means that the summers are hot and dry, while the winters are cool. As the graph in my video show, in Italy is cold from January to April and is hot starting from May to October. About the Precipitations, according to the video and the graphs, there is a lot of rain especially in the cool period, while during the hot period there is not too much rain.  In Calabria we have a lot of Landforms. we have the Mountains, that are a pieces of terrain very high similar to a triangle,higher the hills. Also we have Plains, that are large area of flat terrains with a few trees. About Water Resources, we have Rivers, that is a natural flow that pass the and and is going to end is a Lake. we have the River Argentino in Crotone, Italy that as it shown in the video at the end is going into a Lake. In Calabria we have  a lot of Natural Resources. Natural Resources can be Renewable and Non-Renewable. For Renewable sources we have Tomatoes, Mandarin, Corn, Olives, Grapes, and Zucchini. For Non-Renewable sources we have Minerals that are solid Substance like Quartz, Salt founded under the ground. Of the the Mineral that is present in Calabria is the Opal. At the beautiful natural resources, I need to add the Natural Disasters too, that are not beautiful as the natural resources. Natural Disasters are: Flood, Earthquake or Tornado. In Italy we have a lot of Flood especially when is winter the water goes on top of an aria and cover cars, and people can not walk in the street. Another natural disaster  we have is the Earthquake , where there is the shaking of the Earth causing a lot of damages. In conclusion I have to say that Italy is a wonderful place where there are a lot of beautiful stuff, but also bad stuff like the natural disasters that are not really good to see.
