Step 4: Select two of the criteria listed above, and determine which should be the independent variable and which should be the
dependent variable. Then, create a graph on Gapminder which highlights these variables and countries over time.
Step 5: Create your Project 3 page, on which you should:

Step 5: Create your Project 3 page, on which you should:
- Include a screenshot of your graph, using the snipping tool
- Include a link to your graph. (Press "Share graph" in the upper right corner for the link)
- Explain Rostow’s Model for Development and the Human Development Index.
