Presenting Utopia Projects
Posted by Eric Snow
Throughout the year, students in Humanities 7 have been learning about the different aspects of culture that create the different societies we know today.
After critically reading The Giver, students gathered last week in two large groups and were assigned to create a utopia – an imagined community where everything is as perfect as possible.
Students needed to engage those various aspects of culture (religion, clothing, government, etc.) to try to, from scratch, create a perfect society.

Today, those groups presented their wildly divergent utopias – one based on the governing principle equity, and the other on health and wellness.
Project-based learning like this is not only a standard practice in Unquowa’s Humanities programs, but is a fun way to expand the learning that students are engaging in every day.
