Goal:

 * To design a structure and teams for our Islander curriculum project.

1:50 - 2:00 - Welcome & Agenda
 * Notetaker: Sir Dominic Melchior
 * According to Shaw Middle School, our curriculum might actually get implemented into their school, so let's not disappoint
 * Apparently, the Marshallese are really good singers, their harmonizing skills are phenomenal, made me jealous, I've always wanted to be a good singer....but I digress
 * We watched a video about the issues of the Marshall Islands of which the United States is not fully aware
 * United States evacuated the people from the Island/ People were starving afterwards/From 1946 to 1958, they tested 67 nuclear warheads
 * The Marshallese experienced many forms of radiation poisoning and birth defects from the bombs
 * Current Deal: Marshall Islands get 150 million dollars and no more nuclear testing if the United States gets to use one atoll as a military base
 * We brainstormed ideas for what could go across disciples
 * Several ideas from each group that revolved around: Music, Dance, Climate Change, Navigation, Environmental Science, Studying Folk Tales, Economic Systems
