What educators are saying

I used this and it was great for the genre introduction for my middle schoolers. I just saw that it was updated. I can't speak to the update as I used it three weeks before the update! But, it seems an additional slide was added so I imagine it is just as good!
This resource is an excellent introduction to Dystopian literature and uses current, relevant examples that students are familiar with which helped them understand the elements.
