Teaching Utopian and Dystopian Literature (Spring 2024 Webinars)

The webinars provided multiple approaches for generating student interest in and understanding of utopian and dystopian literature. Strategies and content aligned with the secondary-level English language arts TEKS. Both webinars highlighted the most important takeaways for middle and high school students. 

Like all Humanities Texas teacher programs, the webinars were content-based and teacher-centered, with an emphasis on developing effective pedagogical strategies.
