Students have finished reading The Giver by Lois Lowry in which a community's attempt to create a perfect society reveals that there is a price to pay for such "perfection". Students will create their own perfect society or Utopia by completing the tasks in the Keynote.

Use critical thinking and planning to design your own Utopia by completing the tasks in the Keynote. Submit as instructed by your teacher's weekly email update.
