Dystopian literature. I'm sure we're all familiar with it and I know that most of us have read at least one title that would fit into this genre; I certainly have, but I want to know more about this type of literature that I've become so exposed to over the years and which is encapsulated by such a large portion of modern young adult literature.

- What is a good working definition of dystopian literature?
- What are some modern YA titles and what are some original titles that inspired the modern authors?
- Why should it be taught?
Through my research of these questions I hope to solidify my understanding of this popular genre and implement dystopian titles in my future middle school classroom.
