UTOPIA: AN IMAGINED PLACE OR STATE OF

THINGS IN WHICH EVERYTHING IS PERFECT.
Your goal is to create your own Utopia. We have read Fahrenheit
451 and examined its Dystopian world. Societal issues leading up
to the 1950s heavily influenced Bradburys vision. Think about
problems facing our current society. Working in groups of 5, discuss
the problems of modern day and create a perfect world in its place.
You will:

Research utopias and dystopias

Work in groups to develop your own utopian ideals
Create a Utopia name and emblem
Write your own Declaration of Independence
Break down the details of Utopian life
Verbally present to the class
Write a reflection on the process

TASK 1: DYSTOPIA VS.

UTOPIA
1) Read Dystopias: Definition and Characteristics
2) Journal Entry:
After reading Fahrenheit 451, consider the most
important qualities of human nature and society. What
ideas are most important to living a good life and how
should those ideas shape every day living? Use your
answers to these questions to envision your version of a
utopian society. In your journal, write out a description of
what the perfect world would look like.
