A dystopian society is one that has great suffering or injustice. In this class students will get an overview of how to analyse a dystopian science fiction novel using an extra from ‘The Mazerunner’. Students will be shown how to identify language features, how to comment on the effects of language and how to embed and explain quotations. This class is aimed at students in Years 7 and 8 as this class teaches skills that are essential when unwrapping unseen text.
