Dystopian Short Stories - "The Lottery" and "Harrison Bergeron"
This BUNDLED product contains two short story units: One for "HARRISON BERGERON" by Kurt Vonnegut, and one for "THE LOTTERY" by Shirley Jackson.
These dystopian short stories would be great to study on their own, but they could also serve as a perfect introduction to a full dystopian novel unit like THE HUNGER GAMES, THE GIVER, FAHRENHEIT 451, 1984, DIVERGENT, and many others. This unit would also be an excellent pairing with my FREE "CREATING A DYSTOPIA" activity.
