from Brave New Teaching: A Podcast for High School and Middle School Teachers · host Marie Morris & Amanda Cardenas, Secondary ELA Teachers
What time is it? Dystopia time! We all know how important it is to engage our students with relevant and thought-provoking content, and dystopia is the perfect genre to do just that. Today we’re sharing three secrets to teaching dystopia that will help you get the most out of your units. It’s not just about reading dystopian novels. Dystopia is a great opportunity for our students to dig deep, think critically, and connect with characters. We’ll discuss strategies such as how to contextualize current events and legislation alongside these texts, allowing our students to bridge the gap between themselves, history, and different parts of the world.Resources:Join Happy Hour!Amanda’s SPF powder (and other favorites!)Grab your 30-day FREE trial of AudibleCloudy Lesson planDystopia WorkshopLive Coaching: Synthesis WritingAmanda's Introduction to DystopiaAmanda's Dystopian Lit Mega BundleShop additional BNT resourcesConnect with us on Instagram @bravenewteachingFollow Marie on Instagram: @thecaffeinatedclassFollow Amanda on Instagram: @mudandinkteachingLet us know what you think!
