CO: Students learn about Australia and Oceania through a PowerPoint, a mnemonic device based on the different types of Islands. LO: Students will locate and label a blank map of Australia and Oceania. SO: Students will work cooperatively to achieve objectives. Students will demonstrate self-respect, understanding and appreciation for the diversity and interdependence of all peoples.

Reef Reef: a rock, sandbar, or other feature lying beneath the surface of the water. Many reefs (but not all) are made of coral. Reefs can grow to break the surface at low tide and sometimes form islands, such as the coral islands of Tonga, Nauru, and many of the Polynesian islands. Definition courtesy of Absolute Astronomy.

Oceanic Oceanic Island: an oceanic island does not sit on the continental shelf and instead emerges from the ocean floor. Most oceanic islands are volcanic, but some, such as Macquarie Island (an Australian possession), are the result of tectonic plate shifts.

Atoll Atoll: an island formed from a coral reef that has grown on an eroded and submerged volcanic island. The reef rises to the surface of the water and forms a new island. Atolls are typically ring-shaped with a central lagoon. Bora Bora, a resort island in French Polynesia, is a famous atoll. Definition courtesy of Absolute Astronomy. (2013). Island.

Volcanic Volcanic: a volcanic island, as its name suggests, is one that has risen from the ocean floor over time due to lava flow associated with volcanic activity.

SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE

STUDY NOTES -Many of the cultures in the region are scattered and isolated on islands because of the geography of the region -Because of the location, Australia's distance and isolation have contributed to the evolution of unique animals and plants. -Most Australian urban centers are located along the coast.
