Society

In class we are working on societies, and we are making our own.   We were able to pick any where we wanted and what climate we wanted to work with.  In the group, were making a society near a lake and has a beach and a farm and a ton of trees.  Kind of what like we think Chicago was back then in the old days.  We thought that Chicago's area was a great place, maybe because we live there and that's what we know of living here.  Chicago back then would be great for a new society and it has a pretty good climate.

We draw a like stretch of what we wanted are society and area would look like from a bird's eye view.  We wanted have a climate were not a lot of natural disasters happen.  Only like earthquakes but not really bad ones, also tornado's and that they are in that area but they not to big near lakes.  We thought that Chicago's area was a good place to interpret into our society and use Chicago's lake as a good stand point, for the society we wanted to start for the project.

The society would build houses out of mud, stones, cement, and wood.  We didn't want our land to run out of resources so the houses could be built out of other stuff then wood.  Mud and cement is useful with the climate because of the long beach for sand, water from the lake and some other igredneints for the house building.  We drew out a little farm that grew crops for everybody in the little growing town, with animals and fields.  And because there was a lot of forest we put the houses near the water so if there was a fire they could be safe.  We had Chicago in back of our minds the whole time and thought that our climate was a great climate to have a new society.  We put the historical things about Chicago but made them there own and that really helped us landscape were everything was going.   I think that the society that we drew out would be a really benefitful one.
