CREATE YOUR OWN UTOPIANow it’s your turn to create your perfect Society

In groups, you will create the perfect society, your very own UTOPIA. Think carefully about your creation because you want it to be a place where people would want to escape to and be happy.

You will come up with a name for your society, laws, and a constitution. After you have created the PERFECT society, you will analyze the positive and negative effects of living in your society.
