Looking Ahead

This Weekend (3/20-3/22): Finish reading a dystopian novel.

Monday 3/23: Write in class about the end of the dystopian novel.

Tuesday 3/24: Bring in an article (or other writing) about the basis for your own dystopian story. (The article should be about something that you fear about the future or something that is ridiculous about our current culture that could be worse in the future.)

Tuesday night 3/24 pumpkin time: Write a final blog post by responding with intelligence and understanding 1. to something someone else has written about the dystopian novel that you read and 2. to something someone else has written about a dystopian novel that you haven't read.

Wednesday 3/25: Review vocabulary 21-30 and new board words (and work on your own dystopia story).

Thursday 3/26: Review vocabulary sentences (and work on your own dystopia story).

Friday 3/27: Vocabulary quiz (and retakes) (and work on your own dystopia story).

Monday 3/30: Bring in a draft of your own dystopia story (1000-2000 words).
