5th Grade Island Winners,
You have just been awarded ownership of an island in recognition of your concern with the five themes of geography and environmental issues. Your wisdom in managing the island is crucial. You have many responsibilities now for your fellow citizens. This includes providing employment, shelter, food, and healthy environment. You are also responsible for the development of a model community for business and natural habitats. Consider your actions carefully. Below are the questions we posed today to help you in your planning of your island. Good luck!
Now that you have found out a little about the five themes, how can you use them?
Here are some questions to get you started developing your island:
Where is it?
