Book Review A strong book review critically evaluates the makings of the novel. As the writer, it is not your job to summarize the book. That is what can be found on the back cover if any of your readers decides to check the book out. Instead you will discuss your opinion of the book, in writing, using information from the book as support.

éPortfolio Submission FormCourse DescriptionThis course investigates stories of Totalitarian and post-apocalyptic societies in order to better understand topics relevant in our current society. We will read one dystopian novel as a group and then each student will select a second dystopian novel to analyze individually. We will break down the five characteristics of dystopian literature and research how those characteristics might already be happening in the world around us—government control, environmental destruction, technological control, survival, and loss of individualism.
