Good Morning Jolly Jellyfish

Please take out your independent reading book and kick back relax and read for 5 minutes. Sit with your utopia group - I will be coming around and checking in. 

  • QOD
  • I Am Poems 

7th Grade
  • Meet in your teams and go through the protocol for the problem solving meetings to try and create laws to eradicate the societal issue you identified and researched. 
  • What other laws or amendments do you want to include in your charter to make your society the most Utopian? Start to brainstorm a list of these laws that will support a more Utopian society.
8th Grade 
  • I am going to give you your planning papers back. You have today to build your presentations for the Utopia showdown - I will explain what this will look like. Things to consider for your presentation:
    • Include the name of your utopia, where it is located and why, and anything else you think is important to making your society more utopia - for example do you have some values or principles that guides the decision within your utopia? 
    • Next in your charter - you want to outline the problem that you are eradicating - this included the information/ research that you have completed as well as your law that you are using to eradicate the problem. I am also looking for justification on how this makes your society more utopian. 
    • Are there any other laws or rules that you want to include in your charter to make your society more utopian? 
    • Is there anything else you want to include in your presentation? Map of your utopia, other information about your people, etc?
Humanities Extension:
  • We are going to be making history by creating a new team name! Starting a new legacy!
Homework:
  • Read 30 minutes - be ready to share about your reading tomorrow morning.
