Episode 61: LIVING IN A DYSTOPIAN WORLD
08/19/21 • 23 min
If you aren’t already on the dystopian band wagon, we’re fairly confident that you will be after this episode. We’ve taught dystopia for YEARS, and it hasn’t lost any steam along the way. Can you say that for other genres?
So, why is dystopia as a specific genre so gosh darn exciting? Why is it something we believe should be in every single ELA classroom? We couldn’t even begin to count the reasons, but to begin, it helps kids understand the society they are growing up in. More importantly, it allows them to begin to build their own options and questions around society. How cool is that?
Today we’re making three solid points on why dystopia is something you need to get behind. Tune in to hear us dive into each of these points:
1. Dystopia is always relevant2. It’s popular and engaging...hello Hunger Games!
3. It has limitless possibilities

Episode 60: MAKING THE CASE FOR WONDER
Kids have a magical way of looking at the world. Sadly, overtime this magic begins to dim. But what if it didn’t have to? What if you could play a part in holding on to that joy of discovery? Our guests today are going to help you do just that. We are joined by Ashley Bible, Jenna Cooper, Abby Gross, and Staci Lamb. They are the powerhouse team from Keeping the Wonder.
Ashley, Jenna, Abby, and Staci connected in 2018 through a mutual love of teaching, engaging, creating, and learning. They have since hosted four live workshops, launched a library of virtual Keeping the Wonder sessions, and wrote a collaborative book that both informs and inspires. We’re so excited for you to hear this interview as they make a case for wonder, specifically in secondary classrooms.
