Research paper<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We began the unit with a research paper, exploring a political issue that is relevant in the present day. I chose to research Elon musk’s plans to colonize mars and whether they are feasible and the right thing to do. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Worldbuilding<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Next, we created a pitch presentation. I worked with Lulu and Jane, and cerated a pitch for a science fiction novel called The Highest Bid<\/em>. The book takes place in a world where women are sold at 15 years old to the man who bids the highest at a yearly bidding ceremony. Women’s only purpose is to obey their husband, and if they step out of line, they are harshly punished. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our story follows Esther, who is bid on by her town’s government representative, Cain. This gives her extreme social status and she is forced to move to the Capital city with him, away from all her friends and family. Cain starts to become violent as his power gets to his head, and Esther is eager to find a way to escape his attention and find a community. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
