This class is taught in English.
Students will define the literary terms utopia and dystopia. Students will identify dystopian characteristics in literature (and possibly film). Students will explain how dystopias criticize contemporary trends, societal norms, or political systems. Students will learn how to plot ideas. Students will learn to create an effective presentation. Students will effectively write an analytic essay.
