JOURNAL TOPIC:
What elements of our current culture do you consider utopian? What elements do you consider dystopian? What elements do you think are undesigned?
AGENDA:
1. Journal
2. Since I'm stuck here
3. I'm asking you to self-study the foreword and Chapter 1 in groups or as a class (each period's choice). Please answer these questions for the Foreword:
- What is Huxley's perspective on sanity? How does this relate to participation in social order?
- What is the "third option"?
- Why does Huxley refer to Churchill's use of "the iron curtain"?
Please also use those time-honored literature circle roles to analyze Huxley's writing: vocabulary/lit terms, connections with outside ideas/other media, research on the author/publication of the text, and plain ol' wicked good writing. (If you can think of other important roles, please feel free to include them as well.)
