Dystopia: A Perfect Society?

This is a post for our Language Arts unit on dystopian societies and our version of utopia.

These are my TIEA paragraphs of the novel I read, Insignia, and a short dystopian novel,
The Pedestrian.

These are pictures of the map of my perfect society, and its flag, money, and uniforms.

 

Here are the rules as to how my society functions, and what you can expect to see in it:

These are the pictures that I took of my annotation on the book Insignia.

Here is my screencast on the theoretically perfect society, or at least what a perfect society is to me. However, this society obviously is not perfect because everyone has their own idea of perfect, and my idea of perfect is not necessarily everyone’s idea of perfect.

7th Grade I+S Unit 1 Summative Reflection

During this unit, our main focus was on governments and systems. More specifically, we learned about the Roman Republic, Greek government, and Roman/Greek militaries. The 4 types of Greek government was probably one of the most interesting ones for me because it was really cool to see how the type of government changed as the people started to evolve and want different things. The government quickly adapted to the people’s needs and stayed there for a while before that type of government started to fail and a new type of government was introduced. Throughout this whole unit, everything we learned was somehow based on a system; the Republic, Greek government, and how the military systems worked. The main thing that I gathered from all these different types of systems is that a system is when a group of different things come together to function or work for a certain cause. The whole unit was based on how these different systems came together and fell apart. During this unit, I learned a lot about how small countries can quickly become a large empire and that there are a lot of what ifs in history. For example, if the Gracchus brothers somehow managed to maintain balance, would the Roman Republic have survived longer. I also improved by learning a lot about the key concepts of different systems.
