The Chrysalids: Life on the Fringes (Academic, Advanced). Novel Study. (R. Wheadon, Class of 2014)
This unit, centred around John Wyndham’s The Chrysalids, focuses on developing analytic and creative reading skills, as well as reader-response skills. Students will be encouraged to use The Chrysalids as an anchor for an exploration of prejudice, normalizing, social injustice, dystopia, intolerance, science, and technology. By drawing connections between texts and the real world, students will develop an understanding of how texts reflect on our world (this is particularly true for science fiction and speculative fiction) and will be encouraged to think more deeply about social justice.

Socratic Circles Handout (for The Chrysalids novel study)
