Hey!
So there's this class at my daughter's school (Homelink, parent/partnership program through Lake Stevens School District, thank you very much) called Survival. The basic premise of the class is to teach geography, social studies, and language arts all in one. The students choose an Eastern Hemisphere country and pattern a make-believe island after the capital city of that country. The island they design can be styled anyway they would like, as long as it is kind of realistic. It will be plopped down in the ocean on the same latitude/longitude lines as the city they have, and will also need to have elevation, flora and fauna maps made with the same accurate info. They are to graph by month the precipitation and temperatures, and use all of this information to create their creative "scenario" involving a surviving situation.
