Description
This digital literary analysis activity for any dystopian story allows for scaffolding and encourages student understanding of the dystopian genre. Because this literature activity comes with multiple pieces, you can decide what works for each student. This scaffolded literary analysis activity is the perfect starting point for a literary analysis essay on lit circles, book clubs, or a whole class read with a dystopian novel.
You can see the literature activity's pieces and presentation in the thumbnails and preview. You will receive a Google Slide with directions, analytical questions, and a link to a Google folder with 50+ .JPGs to build your literary analysis for students to add digital elements. I have also included a page of teaching ideas.
Specifically, this digital literary analysis activity includes:
♦ 50 .JPGs that include labels to start students with their literary analysis for a dystopian story.
♦ A Google Presentation where students can build their analysis.
♦ A teacher page of suggestions.
♦ 10 literary analysis questions.
♦ A rubric.

Meeting standards? I created this literature activity when I teach dystopian lit circles. Students are reading a variety of books, and I needed to meet standards in a visual way.
Bonus: The possibilities for analyzing any dystopian book are endless! You can add pieces, change the analysis writing prompts, and modify the rubric.
