Reflection on "Create-an-Island"

In humanities we did a "Create-an-Island" project. We started this project in October. This project was a unique experience for me. For this project we used all the information we learned so far for this year. For our island we had to draw a map and a flag, and we had to write about the history, agriculture, education, culture, and many more. While writing this we had things that we had to write were easy like education. The history was a bit harder because it involved a lot more information, but all in all it was an easier project. Then at home we had to practice presenting our islands. The hard part about that is we needed to tell them about the whole island in three to five minutes. Finally, we presented our island. When we did it the class wrote down questions to ask when we have the round table discussion. So as you can see, this project was a great experience for me. It was a lot of fun and I hope we do the "Create-a-Country".

How Was My Presentation for the creat an island

I think my presentation was good but just a bit too long. I liked that I did not give too much and not too little information. I also liked that I was cut too the chase and not just going on about one thing. Some things I would Improve would be to make it shorter and I would also tell tell more about the history of the island.

Create-an-Island-Project

For this project we had to create our own island. We used all the information we learned from the beginning of the year for this. We had to choose where it is, the shape ,and the size the wind current directions.

This project was fun. However I had a few difficulties making it. For example, I did not know exactly what politics so I researched it and I found out that it was about things like laws. Another thing I found out was that the Pacific Ocean catches a lot of fish so that was my idea for my name "Fishermen's Paradise" and the cities too. I thought it would be good to put my island right above the equator.
