Ancient Science-Fiction Unit Revamp

Help me give my students Scythe. I feel like as a science fiction novel, this would be the most entertaining and beneficial literature to keep science fiction in the schools but not have a story written years ago.

My Project

Early high school students should delve into the captivating world of Scythe for its thought-provoking exploration of morality, power, and the human condition. Neal Shusterman's dystopian masterpiece not only offers a riveting narrative but also prompts critical reflection on societal structures and ethical dilemmas. Through its rich characters and intricate plot, Scythe challenges young readers to contemplate the consequences of unchecked authority and the complexities of life and death. It fosters empathy, encourages independent thinking, and ignites a passion for literature that transcends genres. As ninth graders navigate their own journey of self-discovery and moral development, Scythe serves as a compelling guide, urging them to question norms and envision a better, more just world.
