Create Your Own Dystopian Society

A Dystopia is a vision, of an often futuristic society, which has developed

into a negative version of Utopia (perfect society). A Dystopia is often

characterized by an authoritarian or totalitarian form of government. It

features different kinds of repressive social control systems, a lack or total

absence of individual freedoms and expressions and a state of constant

warfare or violence.

You will create an original dystopian society. You will need to be creative

and thoughtful in coming up with a fictional place that was intended to be

perfect, but has gone wrong. You must create a citizen of this society that

will be the Protagonist of your project. Meaning, this citizen should realize

that the society is wrong and should try to shine a light on the problems.

Project Requirements:

1. BACKSTORY: A dystopian story has a backstory: a war, natural disaster

or other terrifying event is introduced early on in the story to set the stage.

Describe the backstory for your dystopia.

2. MAP: A map (colored/illustrated) of your community/country/town/etc...

3. RIGHTS: A Bill of Rights (at least 10 rules/laws the people in your

society must live by)

a. This must be created to look like a document that would fit into

your society as poster for display.

4. PROPAGANDA: An informational text from the government of your

society.

a. This can be a letter, memo, brochure, political cartoon, etc...

5. GOVERNMENT: Describe the government in your dystopia. What kind

of government exists? Who is in charge?

6. CITIZEN: Describe the average citizens in your dystopia. What do they

wear? Describe their appearance; What do they do for a living?; Do they

have children?; How do they behave on a daily basis?; What do they do for

fun?; How do they respond to the government?
