LESSON PLAN: Using multi-media, along with primary and secondary sources to explore the concept of individualism vs. conformity in Dystopian literature

COURSE TITLE & GRADES: Dystopian Literature and Analysis ELA Grades: 8,9,10,11,12

UNIT: This lesson will coordinate with the given piece(s) of literature covered. So, a short story will take on certain characteristics that may or may not replicate those of a full novel. This lesson is designed to work with variable forms of dystopian literature including the short story Harrison Bergeron as well as novels such as 1984, The Hunger Games, The Giver and Fahrenheit 451, etc.

**ESSENTIAL QUESTIONS / KEY CONCEPTS**

Why should society celebrate differences?

How do individual differences both strengthen society as well as threaten some governments?

When is individualism more valued than conformity?

**INSTRUCTIONAL GOAL (S)**  (outcome that students should be able to demonstrate upon completion of the entire unit)

Students should be able to critically identify examples of individualism and conformity having arrived at that cognitive point via collective and independent navigation of conventional and on-

line resources. Naturally, alignment with Common Core Standards and College and Career Readiness is key.

**PERFORMANCE OBJECTIVE (S)**  (use an action verb in a description of a measurable outcome)

Students will readily recognize alienation and stereotyping in fictional and real life society. By examining totalitarian rule over citizenry and alienation between groups and individuals, students will gain a mature understanding of the consequences produced by such hostile perceptions and behaviors.

This lesson is designed for students to engage in critical thinking and analysis that will help them when navigating through such real life contexts.
