A utopia is defined as an ideally perfect place. If you had to design your “perfect world”, what would it look like? What would life be like for the people who live in your community? 
What would be special about your community that would make other people want to join it? 
You are going to be designing your own utopian world. Your project will include information about the following areas. Under each category, you must supply enough information to inform others of your community and entice them to join. You will create a GOOGLE SLIDES PRESENTATION of this information. Imagine you are giving a presentation and convincing an audience to join your society!

Review the google slides about what a utopia is and the different types of utopias. 
After looking over the slides, complete the attached google form. 

When you finish this assignment, please begin the Utopia project activity.

Follow the writing prompt in the document. Use your copy of "Button, Button" to support your response.
