Satire: Advice to Teachers – Ramone
Ramone presents his satirical “Advice to Teachers” which is part of his Year 9 Grammar for Writing, Satire project
Dystopian Fiction – Writers’ Workshop
In The Crysalids, John Wyndham created a fictional world that expressed the contemporary anxiety about the nuclear threat posed by the Cold War arms race. Told from the point of view of a naive narrator, David, The Crysalids explores the post-apocalyptic landscape of strict religion, civil conflict and extraordinary genetic mutation.
This task supports students to work together to create their own future dystopia, replicating some of the key features of Wyndham’s “The Crysalids”, while updating it to represent a future where our current world has veered off course and the main character is dealing with the consequences.
