2. The Dome Descends....
AHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!
So, here's the scenario: a dome has just descended on Sanford, preventing everyone from entering or leaving! All communication with the outside world has also ceased, including text messages, emails, phone calls, etc. Commence freak out!!!!!! :O
- With a partner, predict all the problems that will occur in Dome-Sanford. We will share our predictions with the class.
- Using this LucidChart, create a cause & effect diagram showing how some problems will cause other problems. For example, running out of water is a problem, but what other problems could it cause?
NEXT: Every society needs a social order in order to function properly. Think of a society as a machine; various roles are needed in order to make the society function. What types of roles are vital to a society?
- With your partner, create a list of our dome society's needs and add them here. Think about current industry, jobs, and needs in Sanford to help get your brains turning. What else would we need if nothing can enter Dome-Sanford?
- Looking at our class list of roles, choose a role to fulfill in Dome-Sanford. It's up to you guys to determine how many people should fill a role. If all the roles cannot be fulfilled, what will happen to our society???
NEXT: Now that everyone has a role, we need a social contract. A social contract is an agreed-upon set of rules that a society abides by. Staying in your role, think of the rules that you would need/want in the Dome-Sanford social contract.
- With your partner, create a list of proposed rules for Dome-Sanford. How should people act? What should people do? How will we enforce these rules?
- Write your proposed rules into our collaborative Social Contract.
3. Conclusion

Each citizen must take on TWO roles in Dome-Sanford. Which roles are most important and therefore need more people? It's up to you guys to determine how many people should fill a role. If all the roles cannot be fulfilled, what will happen to our society???
As a society, you need to decide how to make major decisions such as this. You might consider holding a vote, drawing names, rock-paper-scissors, etc. (hint: this will end up going into your Social Contract later). Once you have made your role decisions, fill your names into the table here.
***Note: We will select our society leaders on Monday!

Now that everyone has a role, we need a social contract. A social contract is an agreed-upon set of rules that a society abides by. Staying in your role, think of the rules that you would need/want in the Dome-Sanford social contract. For instance, if you are in charge of security/law enforcement, what rules would you need to help you do your job? If you are a doctor, what rules would you need to do your job successfully?
- Based on your role, create a list of proposed rules for Dome-Sanford. How should people act? What should people do? How will we enforce these rules?
- Write your proposed rules into our collaborative Social Contract.
4. ConclusionDiscuss: How will your social contract enable you to more easily make decisions in the future? Are your rules similar in any way to your local, state, national, or international government? Thinking about the needs of a society, why do you think that is?
