Ready to refresh your dystopia unit? In this episode, we explore how to make the genre feel fresh, relevant, and engaging for today’s students by rethinking essential questions and diving deeper into structure, theme, and skill connections. From moving beyond the classic “Is America a dystopia?” debate to exploring what it means to rebuild a broken world, you’ll get ideas for inquiry-driven lessons that inspire critical thinking and connection to real-life issues. This is a kickoff to our three-part dystopia series, so head back here next week!Resources:NEW: Watch this episode on YouTube!Shop Our FavesTeaching Dystopia WorkshopJoin Happy Hour!Shop more BNT resourcesFree Training: Down with the Reading QuizJoin Curriculum RehabConnect with us on Instagram @bravenewteachingFollow Marie on Instagram: @wellhelloitsmarieFollow Amanda on Instagram: @mudandinkteachingLet us know what you think!
