Scientists in the story learn to cure colon cancer, and in   the process stumble upon a solution to solve food insecurity, and other health issues. Of course when something seems too good to be true, it usually isn’t true. You can read the short story here and see notes from class discussions.

Students finished creating their own utopias, presented them to each other, and then poked holes in each others' ideas. The grand take away was that utopia is a concept, not a reality. That said, does that mean people should stop trying to make our real world better? While we may never achieve perfection, not working towards a better world is cynical. Hoping we can instill some optimism by learning ways to help make things better and standing up for what is right over the course of the year. ]]> 2021-11-13 00:43:41 UTC https://padlet.com/jennifer155/52ri435ew37yd9sw/wish/1887673265 Students finished creating their utopian visions, and then read and answered questions about real and failed utopias. jennifer155 https://padlet.com/jennifer155/52ri435ew37yd9sw/wish/1887674215 2021-11-13 00:44:59 UTC https://padlet.com/jennifer155/52ri435ew37yd9sw/wish/1887674215 Next Week: Multi-Paragraph Essays jennifer155 https://padlet.com/jennifer155/52ri435ew37yd9sw/wish/1887676513 2021-11-13 00:47:54 UTC https://padlet.com/jennifer155/52ri435ew37yd9sw/wish/1887676513 Students have all selected a dystopian novel to read.
