Hey everyone! I am looking for some reads for my students! I was thinking about doing a literature circle unit all with dystopia students. What is your favorite dystopia book and why?
Mine is The Giver. Maybe it was because it was the first dystopia I ever read. Maybe I just feel for Jonas as he comes to all those realizations. I love other ones too. But I am curious if you have a favorite and why.
I love dystopian novels and my favourite is '1984' by George Orwell. I love the concept of Big Brother and how Orwell created jargon for the novel like "doublespeak" etc. I respect the character of Winston Smith who secretly rebels through writing (keeping a journal).
Other dystopian novels that I love are:
Lord of the Flies The Handmaid's Tale Hunger Games Trilogy Uglies Utopia Brave New World
uglies- better for girls, I think hunger games- better for girls, but everyone loves it! lord of the flies- some kids think it's hard to read because of the style the maze runner (great for boys and girls) UNWIND by neal schusterman! this one is creepy and awesome, again great for both boys and girls!

Orwell's 1984 is the first dystopian I read years ago and I think it's great! (I'm going to read it again soon)
