Task 1: – 2 pages

Students will write a 1-2 page intel report on your country of your choosing from week 1; this is your intel collection assignment. Using various websites such as the State Department, FBI, CIA, news media, and other open sources, collect and gather intelligence about the country that you chose in the forum.

Each week you will report on the following topics:

Crime
Terrorism
Weather/Climate
Research and Development
Economics
Other Conflicts/War
Basically any news that is pertinent in that country. If there is nothing to report in a specific category please indicate this by saying in your report “Nothing significant to report”.
You will report on the same country every week and no two students will have the same country.
