My Project
This project would help with a classroom library and novel study. In our 8th Grade Honors class, we are finishing the year with "The Challenge to Make a Difference". We will be studying a comparison of texts (dystopia society vs. utopia society). Students will be able to understand the difference between the two societies through reading two different novels.
Students will be reading, writing, producing a project, and comprehending the novels to create a comparison of societies.
Some of the activities will include creating comic scenes, drawing monologs, writing a new chapter, and having literature circles with live debates.
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
