I have chosen a dystopian novel Oryx and Crake written by Margaret Atwood for many interesting reasons. For the past years, I have found myself deeply interested by scientific or political novels that deals with dystopian society that takes place in the future. Novels such as The Giver by Lois Lowry and Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card are some of the novels I enjoyed reading apart from academic purposes. I am quite excited to learn from these group activities and trying out new approaches in studying novels for high school English class. I hope to learn not only how to effectively use twitter to advertise our blog, but also to learn to connect the theme and motif of the book to our present world, by ourselves in group without the teacher's explanation and instructions (spoon feeding students). For the inquiry question, I would be interested to study further and get to know more about Atwood's perspective on scientific developments of our present society.
