Rivers play a very important role in our lives and in the lives of the communities that live near them. This is your chance to visit a major world river and learn about the people and animals that live there! You and your team of explorers are going to choose a river to explore and find out as much as you can about it. When you've gathered all of your data, you'll create an informational brochure and present your findings to the rest of the class at an International Convention of World River Delegates!

The rivers we will explore are:

• Amazon
• Congo
• Danube
• Mississippi
• Murray-Darling
• Nile
• Yangtze (Yangzi)
