Definition: A contiguous area of land, smaller than a continent, totally surrounded by water.
Alright class, settle down and let’s take a peek, At the word “islands,” something we all seek! The dictionary gives us a helpful clue, “Contiguous land, small and shiny blue!” Let's break it down, nice and slow, "Contiguous" means joined, you know? Like pieces of a puzzle, side by side they stay, A single landmass, come what may! Now "smaller than a continent," that’s the key, Think of Hawaii, or Scotland, you see. They're big enough to hold trees and roam, But not as massive as continents like Rome! And finally, “totally surrounded by water,” it’s true, By oceans and seas, a watery view! No land connections, just waves so bright, An island’s defined with all its might. So, an island is a piece of earth you see, Locked in the ocean, wild and free! Does that make sense to everyone here? Any questions before we move on dear?
