Dystopia: Critical Thinking and Problem Solving for Gifted and Talented

These are enrichment or acceleration activities for gifted and talented middle school students who are about to embark on independent reading of novels with a Dystopian element. Included in this resource are group discussion questions, four project based research learning options which culminate in a presentation, and teacher resources, such as an action plan to help students develop a project timeline. These activities lend themselves to multiple learning styles, and require critical thinking, problem solving, citation of novels, and post-project reflection. There is a rubric for each option provided, as well as "road blocks" to help throw a little lighthearted chaos into the idea-generating process. Thank you for choosing NoBox resources.
