Hi welcome back to my blog. Today I’m covering a simulation we did in humanities nine in our project storm barricades. This simulation was to see what life in a revolution would be like. And our country was called nation x. The hierarchy was royals, law, store owners, and peasants. I was a humble peasant during this revolution and this was my set of rules that I had to follow, no speaking to anyone except storeowners unless spoke too, pick up trash, listen to all commands, pay taxes, and write a 100 word summary at the end of each day. Without further a do let’s begin the story of nation x.
Day 1
We read the news, it basically just told us over and over again how good are king was. Next we were given a dollar each, the royalty and Law got so much money. The storeowners also got more money then us. Life was tough. During the day we worked on our 100 word recap of the day. We also elected our garbage collector. The garbage collector was given an extra dollar each day.
Day 2
All I wanted in this hurried country was a lemonade. I had 3 dollars but the lemonade prices were upped to 10 dollars due to food shortage, my dream fell out of reach. We were taxed 1 dollar a again like yesterday, now I was only down to 2 dollars. I hadn’t eaten at all and to make things worse, Dylan one of our own betrayed us and was promoted to become part of the law.
We kept writing our recaps. Hopefully this famine would be over by tomorrow.
Day 3
The famine continued and also sickness was spreading. The kingdom was mad especially the lower classes. And to make things worse I had gotten sick. Also news of nation y coming to invade had spread, could this be a good thing I asked myself. I got a temporary cure. Me and the peasants were tasked with making actual cures, easier said then done. But my old friend Dylan had bought a lemonade and sold it to me for a cheaper price. My ultimate goal came true. I became sick again. I quarantined and wrote my day recap.
Day 4 I was permanently cured and I joined nation y, I was given weapons and money and had convinced the storeowners to join me as well as my fellow peasants. I was starting a revolution. It was time to plan our attack. We attacked and killed all of the royals while they were talking to to some peasants. We had succeeded my I had died.
This project was really fun, and gave good perspective of what revolutions would be like.
Here’s some stuff from the simulation.
Thank you for reading.
