Students were teamed and assigned the task of creating their own Utopias. The Utopia activity was a culminating project where the students synthesized their understanding of government, economics, and geography into an ideal country. Many of the team members recieved first-hand experience at deliberation as they “shared” their country ideals with team members. We also learned how to collaborate using google docs, gmail, and team meetings.

Check out the array of Utopias (electronic medium in parenthesis) by scrolling down to the Utopia section on the right-hand side of your screen. Very impressive team work and creativity is evident on many of the Utopias.
