7th Grade--11/29

Today we began class by briefly discussing "Harrison Bergeron". We then used our understanding of Utopia as gained through both this story and The Giver to begin telling our own utopia/dystopia stories. We began this process by talking about how a utopia both begins and ends, and we also talked about different points of view that could be used to tell the story. Students had time to begin their stories in their journals, and they shared 2-3 sentences from their writing at the end of class.
