World Studies
why is it important to study the world
It is important to study the world for many reasons. one of those reasons is to learn about our worlds history. We need to learn about our mistakes in the past so we can learn and grow from them. We also need to learn about the world so we can see things from others points of view whether that is a different community opinion or even religion.

Identity Flag Artist Statement
By: Cody
In World Studies we had to create a flag representing our identity. We did this assignment to help express ourselves. We each created a flag that represents our identity and the stories we have to tell. Flags represent someone or something and they bring together communities, or tear them apart depending on what they stand for.
For my design I thought about my identity and what my family is like and I added those into my flag. The purple outline is because I like photography and this reminds me of the outline on a Polaroid photo. The red line is to represent a story… In Sand point Idaho there is a big red chair. My family cabin is in Sand point and I have hundreds of photos of me sitting in that big red chair. The red represents that chair, my cabin, and time with my family spent in Sand point Idaho. The purple curved lines are to represent my childhood. When I was a young child my family had a huge garden that was full of onions. When I was really small I would go out to the garden and eat the raw onions like candy. For some reason they were so delicious to me. The brown squiggly dot is representing me and my friend's favorite animal which is a grizzly bear. The yellow tree is meant to represent my love of nature and all things outdoors. This flag represents me and my personality.
1.List 5 aspects of your identity represented in your flag:
Sand Point where my family vacations every year, my love of nature and bears, and memories from my childhood.
2. What was the most challenging component of this assignment?
Cutting out the tree accurately.
3. What would you add if you had more time?
If I had more time I would put more effort into the tree.
4. How did this assignment help you learn more about your own identity?
It was easy to symbolize things that represent me and my identity.
