In this lesson, we encounter various theories of how the native Hawaiians immigrated to Hawai'i. Most of the history of Hawaiian migration will never be known, but anthropologists and historians have fitted pieces together until we can see at least the outlines of an incredible history of the sea.
It is imperative that you categorize the Pacific Ocean, known as Oceania, into three parts: Melanesia, Micronesia, and Polynesia. In this chapter, it will become known to you that there were two waves of migration into Hawai'i. The first wave occured around 500 AD (or C.E.) while the second wave came about the year 1000 A.D.
Reknown navigator Thor Heyerdahl and even recent anthroplogists believe that the migration to Polynesia may even include natives of South America.
Your assignment is to read Chapter 4 and sketch the migration from Southeast Asia all the way to Hawai'i. Include in your drawings arrows to indicate the directions of migration.
You can imagine how well these stalwart Polynesians were superior to European much earlier than the Vikings and Christopher Columbus. Polynesians could navigate over the vast oceans by only using nature (i.e., wind, star navigation, cloud formation, etc.).

LESSON 1 - GEOLOGY OF HAWAI'I
Geology of Hawai'i - Due Thursday, August 16, 2012
Geology of Hawai'i and History Standard 1: Change, Causality, and Continuity, when combined, is a classic example of cause-and-effect relationships. We will examine how the islands were formed and how does the geological system of Hawai'i is unique vis-a-vis other geological systems of the world.
Your assignment is to write and draw the stages of continuing growth of stages of development. The vocabulary helps to understand Hawai'i's development therefore, using the appropriate nomenclature would enhance your knowledge of Hawai'i's evolution.
General Learner Outcomes # 1 and # 4- Quality Producer and Complex Thinker, respectively
are evident after you've completed answering these four questions from "The Hawaiian Monarchy," Chapter 2: (All answers require no more than 3 sentences each).
1) Describe in your own words how the Hawaiian Islands were formed,
2) Explain the "hot spot" theory of island formation. Where is the "hot spot" now?
3) How are coral reefs and atolls formed?
4) What are the continuing stages of island growth and what stage are the Hawaiian Islands now in?
Also, answer the question in the Activities for Enrichment section by drawing and captioning
your answer: #4) Draw the formation of an island chain showing the successive stages of development.
You may also use the text, "Pacific Nations and Territories," (1995, Riley Ridgell) and Atlas of Hawaii (1983) to help illustrate any one of your answers.
Apply the criteria listed under Social Studies Rubric in the Class Links section
Differentiated Lesson: answer all fill-in questions on the Chapter Two worksheet (Hawaiian Monarchy workbook, pages 3-4).
