Week 2 - Currency

In Microsociety this week we have been learning about currency. Before we started on the subject of currency, we found out who's flag had won! With 12 votes, it was Lili's! Next, we discovered what our society's name would be - Alpha Centauri! I had put foward 'Galactica'. To begin the topic of currency, we discussed what objects were the most valuable and best as currency; for example shells, cows, diamonds, coins and apples. As a table, we then discussed our findings with the rest of the class. In our second microsociety lesson, we played Monopoly with our classmates (my group barely got started - only three or four gos each! - ) then discussed our strategies on how to deal with the money we had in the game.

Microsociety was just as intresting and fun as last week, if not more, and I hope it continues to be so.
