Twelfth Grade PBL
This PBL unit is based on the real-world problems students have explored in their readings of 1984, Brave New World, and Frankenstein. It asks them to find connections between these dystopian worlds and ours. What is dangerous in our world today? What might go so wrong that our world would change dramatically? They will research problems that exist in the real world, and then use their creativity to imagine that these problems have somehow gone terribly wrong in a fictional world of their creation. In other words, "what could go wrong?"
