A lesson which seeks to develop letter writing skills.

A lesson which seeks to encourage students to use more ambitious sentence structures in their dystopian writing.

Lesson comes from a dystopian scheme of work. Students will be required to analyse the way in which an author of a non-fiction text structured their text. They will also be expected to identify and evaluate the most impactful technique used by the author. This leads to the students writing their own articles, using the techniques analysed, which serves as propaganda for a dystopian government. Connections are made with the real world through the use of an article about Donald Trump.

Students are required to read a variety of different extracts from dystopian literature and make inferences and deductions about the anti-heroes and how the author chooses to present them. Anti-heroes they’ll analyse: V from V for Vendetta Katniss Everdeen from The Hunger Games series Flora 717 from The Bees Winston from 1984 Montag from Fahrenheit 451
