Kindness for our city is making sure that the people living here are kind and respectful to one another. This means that everyone is kind all the time and when there is an issue, we resolve it to make sure everyone is on good terms. Kindness is something you need in a town, or everything wouldn’t work out because everyone would be unhappy. In our town kindness is represented using orange or yellow and using the skiers holding hands to show kindness between people. Safety for us is that everyone is and feels safe in the environment that we are in. This means that no one would feel unsafe when they leave their house and that they feel comfortable to be themselves all the time. Safety could also be that there are no dangerous things in our town that can cause harm or cause anyone to hurt themselves or anyone else in any way. In our town everyone is always there to help one another and to make sure that everyone is always safe, and if someone does get hurt there are always people to help them out. We incorporated safety in our town by using blue and the fallen skier character to signify the distinct place where safety would be (even though the whole town is safe). In our town we think that education is important because everyone should receive equal opportunities and chances. Everyone in our town would be able to learn and it would also be a space were people could meet others and build relationships. Our education system would not just teach regular subjects we would also teach how everyone can be educated. Being educated means being aware of those around you, how you act and how to treat others, everyone in our town would always respect others and make sure everyone felt welcomed as well.  Our town represented education using red, we also used the Santa figure to show where in the town we have areas of education. Health in our city means that everyone can live a healthy lifestyle and not have to worry about basic human needs. In our town we have gyms and hospitals (including mental health facilities) so that everyone in our town can live their happiest lives. Health can also be having access to healthy foods so everyone can eat healthy as well and don’t have to worry about another human necessity. Our town would be encouraged to take care of themselves and make healthy choices, but they would also have the resources to do so. We represented health within our town by using green buildings and the characters having a snowball fight. 

Communication Reflection

For this project I was in a group with Sienna, together we talked about our values, why we had them and how we wanted to show them within our town. This project was about using both of our values to create our ideal town and incorporate those values into the town using colors and characters etc. We used City Creator to make this project, I really enjoyed using this program because it was easy to navigate and very straightforward. We communicated by texting through snapchat, we both would express our ideas and we were both willing to listen making it a lot easier for us to agree on things and include each other’s ideas. Since there was only 2 of us, we split the responsibility’s equally, I talked about health and education, while Sienna talked about kindness and safety. For the creation of the map, we both contributed and used both of ideas to create the map together. We were very good at using our time wisely and completed almost all our project during the first class, we were very focused, and we didn’t cause distractions for each other which is why we were able to complete our project efficiently. I don’t think we face any problems or disagreements while working together because were able to combine both of our ideas and display it on the map/ in the project. I really like how our final project turned out because we put in a lot of effort to make it look as good as it could and I think we did a really good job, I don’t think I would change anything because we were very focused and used our time wisely to get it all done.
