1) Turn in your homework - make sure your name and block letter is on it :-)
2) Look at the "orphans" on the white board.  Is one yours??????

NOW IT'S TIME FOR UTOPIAVILLE


VILLE: FREEDOM VS. SAFETY ROLL PLAYING GAME

GOAL:  To fulfil your role in the community without regard for your own personal bias – your role card has very explicit directions for the part you are to play during the Town Hall meeting.  You must achieve your goal – either change the system (rebellion) or keep it the same (status quo).
HOW TO: 
·        The citizen announcer will call the community together at the Town Hall and exclaim that, “To insure the safety of all citizens of the community, the elders have enacted new laws, new curfews, and that a fence with electrocution wires will be built around the perimeter of the town (to keep the people inside safe from the dangers that lurk beyond the borders).
·        After the citizen announcer speaks, the citizen elder and the citizen president address the citizens, reminding them of what the world was like before Utopiaville was created.
·        Question and answers and opinions from the audience.
RULES: 
No aggressive, physical behaviour
Respectful, but determined conversation
Stick to your role goals – be strong, be weak, don’t waiver from your goal!

HOW TO WIN: either FREEDOM wins (the beginning of a revolution) or STATUS QUO wins and everyone goes home.
