Let's Create An Island  by Philip Richards

In this unit students will create an island, following a set of suggestions, deciding on such things as its location, topography, climate, population, employment, form of government, leisure activities, education etc.
It enables students to learn important geographic, scientific and civic concepts in a manner that is enjoyable and imaginative.
For each activity a concept is taught as a class activity, followed by independent exercises to reinforce what has been taught.  The students then use this knowledge when creating their own island.
Includes tracking sheets, suggestions for teaching the unit, a rubric for evaluation and an answer key. (68 pages)  Grades 6 - 9
