MICROSOCIETY

Microsociety is great fun, no matter what. In the first week you talk about scarcity and read a short story called Justenuf. This story was about a super computer who created everything the people needed, food,water, shelter until one day, it shut down and wouldn't turn back on. They had to use the resources they already had to survive.

After you read the story, you play the shape game. In the shape game you go into groups of 5. You open the folder and empty the things you get (pencil,scissors,paper etc.) At first I was quite annoyed because we had no paper and then I realised what the aim of the game was. The aim of the game is to get as many points as possible. To get points you make ten diamiter circle or squares. For ten points make a circle and for a square it's 5 points. You can also give counters to teachers for five points as well. If you need other items you can trade with the other groups.

At the end of the week, you make a name for your society and design a flag which was very exciting. The people in your society will have a vote about which flag is the best and that one will be chosen.

I cannot wait for next week!
