For my unit on Operation Civilization, I read the students Weslandia By Paul Fleischman as a beginning activity.
This is a fantastic book that deals with bullying, and being a bit different from the crowd, and doing your own thing! Basically, Wes spends the summer designing his own civilization! As I read this to the students, I have them begin to get ideas about designing their own civilization and talk about: language, staple food crops, government, and leisure activities.
