Social+Studies

The Imaginary Island assignment, to me, mainly 'floated' around our understanding and depth of knowledge about the pacific rim. It was an interesting assignment, I enjoyed doing it since most of the areas it covered I was able to complete easily since Social Studies is a main strength of mine.

My island is a small country east of New Zealand, and was once of province of New Zealand until the War of Independence in 1929. My island has a great respect for any type of culture and has alliance with another country called Grayhaven. If you look at these two islands on a political map, or any map, you can see how it resembles a Yin Yang. That is because back long ago, Hei Lake (In Fairhaven), had a volcano, so when it erupted, the ash left the water looking black. While Grayhaven's Lake, Bai Lake, has large deposits of clay beneath the surface, causing the water to appear white. Both islands have good and the bad, pertaining what the Yin Yang symbol represents.
