UTOPIA/DYSTOPIA
A dystopia is a place where it is once good but ends up bad. A Utopia is some place that is perfect.
We read several books with Utopia stuff, The Giver, Mazerunner(some people), Divergent(Some People), and more books. The Giver is about when a kid is told he is selected to be the receiver he gets memories from The Giver and they decide for him to runaway and release all of his Memories, that way the community remembers.
We are also in the process of making our own Utopian society!! We are supposed to write 8-9 papers about the basic needs and designs about our civilizations. We are combining all of our core classes to make it, Math, Science, Social Studies, and of course Language Arts.
In math we make scale models, In Science we make papers, as well as all other classes, and in Language, arts we are making all of our papers and reading Utopia Books.
