Flag, name, and location homework for long weekend!

Students are asked to complete only the outline portion of their country's flag at home. Please ensure that the flag is the size of a piece of paper (8.5x11) and drawn on white paper, as students will be colouring it in class. The flag outline is due back to school by Tuesday October 13th as that is when we will be colouring it.

Students are also asked to brainstorm a name for their country and where their country is located on a world map. Location is important as it must be in the water not in a continent that already exists. Students must decide the shape of their country for example if it is called Rocket Island the country may be shaped like a rocket. Location is important in the sense that is also effects clothing and food for their country. If their country is close to the equator then they will writing about shorts/t-shirt/rainy gear but if it is close to Antarctica then they will be writing about snow pants/boots/gloves etc.

A world map will be sent home for students to plot their country.
