After learning about four different societies (Ancient Egypt, Jonas' World, students' own cities/towns, and ideal society), students pick one society and create an advertisement for it. Through their product, students answer the question, "Which society do you like best?" Students have the choice of advertising their society on a billboard, video, skit, interview, website, a rap, or any other way. In the task, students are not only examining and defining the features of a society, but thinking through what version of these features make a society the best it can be. The project also involves a restorative justice circle discussion in which they identify their own values and determine what values an ideal society should uphold.
