Sweet Land - Map Final Assessment

 There was a really big Sweet land.There are three countries in this big land: Gum, Lollipop, and Candy.
One thousand years ago, Gum was the biggest country and a lot of people lived there. There was a river in the middle of three countries but Gum used to much sugar and they dismissed a lot of dirty water and trash out the river so Lollipop wanted to kill Gum so the war had begun.
Gum was the sweetest but after they dismissed a lot of bad things so they became the meanest land. Ten years later, it still happened so lollipop took their soldiers to Gum's land then attacked them but Gum has a group of soldiers that could hold Lollipop stayed and Gum took more soldiers to come up their for help. Lollipop needed to get back to their land because Gum was so strong and all of the soldiers from Lollipop land was died a lot. Nick was the leader of Gum land.

Family Tree

I learned many things from my friends' presentations about their cultures. I learned from Sarah like their traditional and clothes. She taught us the way to bow when we met older people. David talked about the food from Czech, the name was strudel or something and the important thing was he makes it by his-self. Lisa's presentation was awesome because she made a book by her self and she put all the pictures when she was young into the book. That was awesome and really cool way to present. I enjoyed all the presentations and they all did awesome.
