English Literature

This webquest is all about reading! This book doesn't use a very academic language, nonetheless it does need at least a B1+ student to assure the comprehension. This activity that they will develop is incredibly interesting, some of the students may not be that into the reading but letting them create a whole new world/society definitely enhances motivation. This activity is mostly individual study/work. I advice you not being so harsh if the students don't comprehend that an Utopia and a Dystopia are somehow the same. You will be their guide for this point. This is a great activity to develop imagination and also to teach them how hard would be to run a government. We are teaching them to think in depth. Which is great. This is a really innovative activity that I hope would be useful for you.
