Lord of the Flies Pre-Project:

The Ol’ Desert Island Society Problem

You have been stranded on an uninhabited island. Your group and approximately 20 of your peers are the only people on the island. You must devise a plan that will give you both the best chance of survival and the highest quality of life. You have no tools, no technology, and nothing other than the clothes on your back. Your group consists of approximately 20 “average” teenagers (in other words, you are not blessed with a super-genius or anyone with any sort of coincidentally exceptional gift.) The only “individuals” are your group members; all the rest of the inhabitants are generic.

- Concept map of government/societal levels. This should contain expectations, responsibilities, social status, or any other information you think is relevant to the "function" of society.

- System of justice/order needs to be outlined. How will rules be enforced and what reason will people have to follow them. (you don’t need an entire code of laws but more a general outline or set of categories)

- Constitution-like document that states your purpose, goals, and the inherent aspects of your society (basically a statement about what your society stands for. Tenets rather than rules/laws.

- Bill of Rights that outlines the core rights that a member of your society can hope to be allowed.- Potential problems that you anticipate along with contingencies for those problems.
