 The
Brazilian Embassy - Hot Link! - http://www.brazil.org.uk/
Infolondres Brazilian Embassy in London website
includes a whole range of links and resources including
an online version of "Brazil in the School"
which was originated and supported by the Embassy,
written by two well-known consultants in geographical
education, Keith Orrell and Pat Wilson, the resource
pack was distributed to all schools in the UK. It
is designed to help teachers planning their programmes
for Key Stage 3 and for GCSE and for Scottish Standard
Grade examinations. It should also be of value as
introductory reading for students working for A/AS
Level and Higher Grade syllabuses.
The
site also includes basic information about Brazil
with maps and photographs integrated in with text.
The site is very useful at providing the Brazilian
governments perspective on issues. At the time of
writing, for example the site included a press response
to a recent WWF report about deforestation levels
in the Amazon, from the government's perspective.
Access is also provided to an extensive range of
statistical data about Brazil. The site is accompanied
with Brazilian music.

This site includes a good range of statistical information
about each state in Brazil, most notably population
figures, including age sex structures, which will
tie in well with the population of Brazil section
of the pupil book, and the population structure
section of book 1 p70-71
