Government and Geography; Create a Country
In my socials class, we each created a country based upon our desired location, geography, government philosophy etc. In my project, I chose to create a country called FIshie Ville.
- Describe the purpose of the project (ie. making connections between Government and Geography, etc.)
The purpose of the project was to creatively visualize the connections between the government and geography is everyday life. Imagining how these topics could really work together to form a country. This project was also to demonstrate the creations of countries work as well as the geography of the land to be used as resources and industries.
2. What did you do, that would demonstrate your ability to accomplish the purpose (use evidence from your project)?
in this project, I created a country called Fishie ville, I decided to use a unique government to demonstrate my understanding of how a government may work. In my case, I chose to do an anarchy technocracy, meaning there would be no laws and rules and the necessary government decisions would be made by a technological generator. This generator would gather information from citizens depending on their wants and needs as a community or individual.
3. What were the benefits of being able to view and peer review of other projects? How did this inform the changes you made?
Getting to review other projects helped me revise and edit mine to the best product I could come up with. I feel that going around and giving feedback based on the checklist also other classmates with their corrections as well. The changes I made were affected by it because I was able to demonstrate how I could improve my project as well as gain some creative ideas on how I could make mine exceeding expectations.
4. What changes have you made to your project that resulted in your end product? Why have you made those changes?
During my revision of my project, I chose to include more background information about my flag and style of government. I chose to add in this information because I feel that it was necessary to make my ideas more clear when presenting as well as just overall improve the project with more information.
5. What competency does either the project or the process reflect most? Using evidence from what you have completed, how does your product or the creative process demonstrate that competency
I feel that the creative competency best describes my work because I was able to accumulate interesting and visions/ideas. Such as my style of government, my slogan, my geography of my country, the cities. I came up with these ideas by doing extensive research of different types of government as well as discussing with other classmates about my brainstorm ideas. I also decided to come up with a theme for my country that being fish.
