Need an engaging way to introduce dystopian literature to your students? This dystopian literature slideshow is perfect for introducing them to the themes, elements, and characteristics that are common in dystopian texts, whether novels or short stories. It also makes connections to books they already love like The Hunger Games, The Maze Runner, Divergent, and more. The beautifully designed slide deck walks them through the difference between a utopia and a dystopia, popular dystopian novels, and important elements of the genre. It also includes a brief introduction to Lois Lowry's famous novel, The Giver. Pair this slideshow with my pre-reading activity or title analysis to start an engaging, Common Core aligned unit or novel study for The Giver.
