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.

This unit would also be an excellent pairing with my FREE "CREATING A DYSTOPIA" activity.
