Part II (last 20 mins of class): SETTING

1. Go to your "Dystopia Journal"
2. Put today's date at the top (Nov 30 or Dec 1)
3. Rewrite into you post:
• The controversial topic and side I support is _________________.   As a result, I am going to write about a place where the opposite is happening, which includes: _________________________.
• Example:  The controversial topic I selected was how we shouldn't be forced to give kids vaccinations.   As a result, I am going to write about a place where the opposite is happening, which includes: every kid gets a series of vaccinations, it rules their daily life and has serious health implications.
4. Follow Ms. Peterson through her 5 short questions to start thinking about your setting.  The questions will be read outloud in class.
