Summary and Tasks

I have told you the basic facts about three of the islands.  Your first assignment is to conduct some simple research about the other five islands in the state of Hawaii.

Open the Hawaiian Island Graphic Organizer.  Some of the blanks are filled in for you.  You are to locate the answers to the other blanks by conducting some simple research about these beautiful Hawaiian Islands on the internet. 

Submit completed graphic organizer to the 6.05 Hawaiian Islands Graphic Organizer Dropbox.

Now that we have studied the uniqueness of each of the Hawaiian Islands, it is time for you to get creative and invent a 9th Hawaiian island.

You get to decide the following details about your island:

  1. Name of the island
  2. History of the island
  3. Main crop of the island
  4. Population of the island, details about the cities on the island
  5. Nickname of the island
  6. One additional unique fact about the island.

You are to create a power point presentation that tells all the details of your island.  Use the chart below to plan and create your power point:

  • Slide One – Name of the Island, name of the presentation creator (you) and include a photo that represents what you think this island would look like.

  • Slide Two – Write a 4-5 sentence paragraph that tells the history of the island.  Do you want your island to have been a part of a war or battle, do you want the island to be known for an interesting person, or do you want to describe the unique way the island was formed.  You can be as creative as you like, as long as you give some history of your island.

  • Slide Three – Tell the main crops of your island and include a picture of each.

  • Slide Four – Tell the population of the island and give some details about the cities on your pretend island.  Do you want this to be secluded, or home to a bustling city? 

  • Slide Five – Nickname of the island.  Most Hawaiian islands have a nickname that refers to something interesting about their past.  Tell the nickname of your island and explain why it has this nickname.  Include a picture that illustrates the story behind the nickname.

  • Slide Six – On this slide, include one additional piece of information about the island you have created.  You might tell about a famous citizen of the island, a unique landmark, a popular tourist attraction, details about a recent movie filmed on the island…. The possibilities are endless.  This is where you add in your final creative bit of information about your island.  Add a picture to this slide that illustrates this final fact.

Submit your PowerPoint presentation to the 6.05 9th Hawaiian Island Dropbox.
