My Utopian City

Re-Town 

Community 

We value community in our town, as to show we have made a community center for citizens to gather and socialize. We also have plenty of flied space for outdoor community events. 

Environment 

We have a large un-touched forest next to our town for animals in the area to live and for the citizens to breath clean and fresh air. Another thing that we have added is lots of flowers. We made sure to have animals on a farm so, the citizens have a sustainable food source along with the vegetable garden we have. This provides all the food for the town, so they do not have to rely on other places for food.  

Safety 

We felt that safety was an important value for us while making our city. We wanted to make sure that it was a safe place for the citizens to live. To assure the towns safety we have installed a gate around to perimeter of the town. And in case of accidents, we have a hospital. 

Friendship 

We have multiple community gardens and ponds for our citizens. Where they can hang out and work together while gardening and fishing. Creating strong, long lasting friendships in our town. We also have a large fire pit for the citizens to enjoy. 

Education 

In our town we value education, to support that we have a school for all the children to attend so we can have a continuously evolving community. 

Colours and symbols: 

We have many flowers to symbolize happiness while also helping the environment. The community center is yellow to symbolize the sun and happiness and the warmth of the community. 

Communication Reflection

For our project we did it on Minecraft. Luckily, we both were already familiar with the program which made it easier for the both of us. We worked on our design mostly at home and communicated and shared our ideas thought massaging and in person. We did a great job on including both of our ideas and it wasn’t just one sided. I mostly worked on the values while my partner worked on the design but we both did everything. We didn’t waste any time getting to work and we both did our fair share. When one of us got tired of doing a task we switched. By doing this we could add our own touches to everything. I really like the final product of our city. I like how bright and colourful our city is. The only thing that I would change is making the buildings a bit bigger.  

My American Revolution Flipbook

Media Fluency Reflection

How was the ease of access in building your flipbook, despite this being the free and limited version of the software?

Using Flipsnack was quite a challenge it is not as simple as word or PowerPoint and would often delete parts of work. 

Were you able to apply the skills you learned in the planning stages appropriately to a digital environment?

Yes, I was able to, create a draft and then pursue that into creating my good copy.

What were the sources you researched that made this an “authentic make-believe” American Revolution flipbook?

Wikipedia, Britannica, History.com

Is there other software online that could have done the job better? Did you use another software instead? Explain.

I think that there would have probably been a better website to use maybe Sway just so that you can be sure that you’re work will save.
