On the back burner:
Here is the document outlining the projects for Term 2 - comments welcome. Please help me make it as clear as possible.


Dystopias I like / Want to Read:
Choose a book that will help you create your dystopian world
Little Brother by Cory Doctorow - non-fiction dystopia about current Internet laws in Britain

- Player Piano by Kurt Vonnegut
- We (in the same vein of 1984) 

- The Hunger Games (only if you haven't read it before - perhaps pair w/critical discourse on film)

- The Giver by Lois Lowry 

- Fahrenheit 451 by Kurt Vonnegut 

- Divergent 

- Animal Farm by George Orwell 

- Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card (a little more sci fi than dystopian, but it works)

- Matched 

- Uglies 

- V for Vendetta (too risque with anarchy?)

- Unwind (need to approve for discussion on abortion - this is a SUPER powerful book)
- When She Woke (combination of The Scarlet Letter and The Handmaid's Tale - instead of going to jail, criminals get their skin 'chromed' the color of their crime) 

- The Maze Runner (also a bit too set up for the sequel, but it happens)

- I am Legend

- Battle Royale (maybe? I hear it's a more violent Lord of the Flies?)

- A Canticle for Lebowitz (post-apocalyptic attempt to preserve texts) 

- Neuromancer (renegades within the digital 'matrix)  

- Ready Player One (might be good connection for those who like video games)

- The Running Man (like that movie Gamer, where someone enters a video game world to stay alive)
