Week 1 Microsociety

This week in microsociety we have been talking about scarcity, which is not having enough of important resources, like food and water, to please everyone in the world.

The shape game

First, we played a game where we were split into 6 groups. Each group was given some equipment which we needed to make shapes with and trade them for points(the team with the most points won).

Some teams had lots of resources so could make shapes easily but others had only a few so found it extremely hard. We learnt that if you lack in resources you needed to trade some of your things for other group's.

Story of Justenuf

Next, we read a story of the planet Justenuf which had just enough things for the people who lived there. When one day the food dispenser broke and everyone was fighting over who got the food. We had to decide who got the food. I thought they could share it out equally but some people had other ideas.

Designed our flag

Next, we designed our flag here is mine:
