 * =Brief Summary of Unit= ||
 * The Unit "Brave New World" is a series of approximately six eighty-minute-long classes that will focus on the novel Brave New World written by Aldous Huxley. Students will become knowledgable with literary terms and devices, as well as how to recognize certain themes and genres in different works. Students will be able to analyze characters and pinpoint/relate to internal and external conflicts certain characters experience in works of literature, as well as how these conflicts create greater meaning in a work of literature. Students will also become fluent with the art of satire, a writing style that exposes the faults of society though irony and ridicule with the intention of improving society, and show how this novel could be helpful to society members today in terms of reflection. Students will be evaluated through discussions, debates, written pieces and a WebQuest involving the creation of their own utopian society. ||
