MY STUDENTS ARE SO CREATIVE! HERE ARE THE MAPS OF SOME INCREDIBLE PLACES I WISH EXISTED...I want to visit them all!

Check out Gerry's wonderfully creative "New America" where the government are expected to hold a viewpoint respecting God (not Allah, not Shiva...the real God of the Bible).

Michael introduced us to Terra Mazuma (Spanish and Yiddish for "Land of Money") - a land with a casino as its main "import".

This is Emily's peaceful island paradise of Elytron - where "tradesmen" maintain an aristocratic nation.

Aimee loves Hawaii! She loves it so much she created "New Hawaii", with a new island configuration, various island states...even a national "bug"! Great idea!

[NOT PICTURED] Zac's nation kingdom of Nabiru and Tim's "Mars Colony". Two more great ideas that just shows how creative my class is.

Great job you guys!
