Discovering Connections to Brave New World

College application forms typically ask teachers, “Is this student academically curious?” This question is an important one to me because I know I can never cover all of the material I want to share with students in a single school year, and I value the intellectual risk-taking some students pursue beyond my required assignments.

As we read Brave New World, I hope you are curious about this literary classic and want to know more about the ideas it ignites. So assert your intellectual curiosity and search the internet to find interesting/insightful information that connects to Huxley's timeless classic. Post your discoveries to our class blog with the link that takes your classmates to the interesting site you find. Finally, be sure to explain the value of the connections you share so you become the "best of all" intellectual risk-takers!
