Twelve lessons have students create a utopian society, use a character web to study characterization, analyze dreams, and exercise critical thinking skills by debating an issue. They also examine setting, mood, irony, paradox, and the manipulation of language. Concluding activities ask students to evaluate their own society and contemporary issues through comparison with the novel’s themes and political structure.
