Week 1 - Scarcity

When we did our first lesson on micro society our class teacher red us story about a world with everything. There was a planet which had everything first. Then the soil of the planet was poisoned and the crops didn't grow, but they had food. Our teacher told the whole of our class how could they share the things in there planet. So a boy in our class said 'we can do a lottery'. We then had to draw our own flag in our draft books. It could be anything. My teacher also said the best on the 6 tables has to be judged. There was girl in our table who was most voted. Her drawing was the symbol of fire and water and had a bird which was red and blue represent it was both mixed element. It had a sun and moon symbol at the top corners. We had to vote and my teacher had to count who's the winner by seeing how many votes were for who. We put the votes in a red basket.

On the next lesson we learnt how much money do countries get. We played a mini game using maths in it. The game is all about drawing shapes very accurately and draw it 10 cm wide. Our teacher was the banker and she announced the points. The points were : 10 points for drawing the shape very accurate,10 points for drawing it 10 cm wide and 5 points for selling counters for 5 points. The teacher said she will go very strict on us.There was group a,b,c,d,e,f. We were timed on a clock. We allowed to trade other people. All the groups all received a bag full of equipment. We started very badly because we had the wrong equipment. My table was losing very badly. At the end of the game, team c won with 50 points and our team lost with only 5 points. Our teacher said we are the only people who feel like that. She showed us a big map of countries how much they have earn. That was end of week 1.
