Create Your Own Utopia - FUN Argumentative Writing Project
This final project is a favorite for my seventh graders. I used it as a summative assessment after studying Utopias - it would be perfect after a reading of The Giver or other utopia/dystopia novels.The project is based on the students creating their own Utopias. However, I wanted to have it tied into Argumentative Writing, so graphic organizers lead students on a step-by-step path to not just create their Utopia, but argue why people should choose to live there. Students use actual sources t

Real Life Utopias - Great pre-reading activity for The Giver and other novels
The idea of "Utopia" is one that fascinates students. A world where everything is perfect? Seems too good to be true!
I wanted to use that curiosity to hook students into my Utopia unit, and so I research three attempts at Utopian life in America's history. My students were shocked to learn that people had actually tried to create Utopias in real-life, and they liked learning how they "bombed miserably."
Besides a detailed PPT, I have also included a persuasive writing activity that uses
