Project Overview/Essential Question
Who? Grade 8 Students at High Tech Middle Chula Vista
When? Spring 2021
When? Spring 2021
What does a perfect community look and feel like to you? In The Community Game, students will design idealized versions of community. Then, they will be put into groups where they will have to design their own communities with the constraints of money and certain assigned privileges. Then, their communities will be put to the test in The Community Game. Through the game, students will develop an emerging awareness of how a lack of resources and differences in social institutions (healthcare, employment, housing, etc.) to lead to societal inequities and differences in opportunity. Students will also develop self-awareness and empathy as they discuss their own emotions and listen to their peers.
