Turning your Society into an
EYEWITNESS Experience for the
Reader!
The breakdown for the written assessment for your societies
How is our Identity shaped
by our Society? In response to this essential question, you are being tasked with creating a descriptive and
informative “eyewitness” book about an imaginary society. This expository text will serve to examine your society for its cultural universals, ideas, and concepts. For this project to be successful you will need to work collaboratively to organize your ideas into rich paragraphs full of relevant facts, concrete details, and illustrative graphics, with captions and
quotations. You will also need to provide a creative analysis explaining the role of an
individual in your culture.

Core Universals
Each chapter of your “Eyewitness” book needs to be informative, detailed,
and colorful. Include a title for the chapter with smaller headings for each section of your cultural universal. It is
also imperative to add images with descriptive captions to enhance the
reader’s overall understanding of this aspect of your society.
Example
Biographical
Sketches
Along with a rich, engaging text explaining the key components of your society, each member of your group also needs to create a biographical sketch of a person FROM that society.
Example
This person may be famous, someone who made a crucial contribution to the development of your society and who represents its core values and beliefs.
