In my class (Wakata class) we are enjoying micro society. We read the 'justenuf' book and discussed how how the leader should divide the resources. Some people thought the poor people should get more, some people thought money should be involved, some people thought they should fix the computer. We talked about how the scarcity of resources is the start of economics. Then we played the shape game; when we saw the results we saw that some teams had a lot more points then others. We thought it was like 1st, 2nd and 3rd world countries and how some of them had more technology but not enough resources to make things such as paper. On Friday (the day after) we made a class ( or our country's) flag and thought of a name for our society. Our name didn't get picked but you can't have it all! Our name was 'Brightland' and we designed a flag. My flag had a sun on it surrounded by stars. I made each star look a tiny bit different from each other, like we are all different but I put sunglasses on them and gave them a smiley face. I have enjoyed what we have done so far in micro society and am looking forward to what we will do next.
