Students first will examine historical case studies, focusing on the role of government or leadership, and analyzing the effects of dramatic change on these communities. They will then read dystopian novels that connect to what they have studied in an effort to examine similar events and experiences in the present. As part of our studies of United States History, we are examining both past and present events that change the lives of the participants, and alter their future in an often uncontrollable, and sometimes horrifying way. Through this study, my students can determine what the problems are, and try to construct a solution to the situation, much like what is needed in their real lives.
