Lesson 6

 We started today's class with a homework check and a quick read (please note: some students still need to bring a novel to class).

We talked about the concept of an "ideal" - at first we were discussing the perfect square, cube, or angle to make things more concrete, but then extended the concept to an "ideal community." We talked about the benefits of striving for the ideal (and the drawbacks of limited imagination).

We worked through a power point designed to guide students in the designing of their ideal communities - it included a look at Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, as well as a series of questions they should answer in their work - We will look at this again tomorrow, now that students are better settled in their groups. 

We are thinking about timelines (and how incredibly disjointed next week will be) - and will discuss our timeline during tomorrow's class. 

Homework:

• COLOURS FOR YOUR PROJECT
• Ideas to add to your group work tomorrow
