I've been staring at the edge of the water 'Long as I can remember
Never really knowing why
I wish I could be the perfect daughter
But I come back to the water
No matter how hard I try
Every turn I take
Every trail I track
Every path I make
Every road leads back
To the place I know where I cannot go
Where I long to be
See the line where the sky meets the sea?
It calls me
And no one knows
How far it goes
If the wind in my sail on the sea stays behind me
One day I'll know
If I go, there's just no telling how far I'll go
I know everybody on this island
Seems so happy on this island
Everything is by design
I know everybody on this island
Has a role on this island
So maybe I can roll with mine
I can lead with pride
I can make us strong
I'll be satisfied if I play along
But the voice inside sings a different song
What is wrong with me?
See the light as it shines on the sea?
It's blinding
But no one knows
How deep it goes
And it seems like it's calling out to me
So come find me
And let me know
What's beyond that line?
Will I cross that line?
And the line where the sky meets the sea
It calls me
And no one knows
How far it goes
If the wind in my sail on the sea stays behind me
One day I'll know
How far I'll go

For this unit assessment you will create a “mind map” to demonstrate your understanding of the material. what is a mind map? mind maps present information visually through the use of text and images. they have the following common elements: the central image and subject/title is located in the center of the map. use a pictogram or visual representation of the central topic along with the wording. detailed themes, ideas or concepts radiate out from the central idea. ideas clearly connect to central image and ideas consistently and accurately shift from broad scope to specific details. visuals and color clarify the information presented. words identify main ideas or concepts. be concise with the choice of words for your map. write single words or simple phrases. a mind map is clear and easy to follow. your mind map will answer the question: how have elements included in persia, decolonization and the cold war affected the development of the democratic republic of the congo and why does it matter today? your mind map will have four main branches from the central image/title. these branches include three of the persia categories, plus decolonization/cold war. choose three from the list below • politics • society • economy • intellectual - includes science, innovation, art • religion • area = geography and add decolonization/cold war requirements: at least 3 sub-branches (ideas) from each category; include as many sub-sub branches or paths as possible. the paths themselves can be designed in any manner, be creative and have fun, but remember to make your paths clear. include small illustrations – each main branch should have at least three small visuals/symbols/illustrations. prefer hand-drawn but could be a copied image use colored pencils for illustrations and if time, outline wording in fine black pen your mind map should fill the whole page. orient your paper using a landscape format. lastly - why does it matter? include a response to this part of the course essential question. it’s all about the content and showing me what you’ve learned. the more detailed information you can include, the better.
