|characters and setting. |

|ELA.12.13B structure ideas in a critical/analytical way (e.g., using outlines, note taking, graphic organizers, lists) and develop original works (a |

|ELA.12.26 Listening and Speaking/Teamwork. Students work productively with others in teams to create a dystopian society. Students will continue to |

|apply earlier standards with greater complexity. Students are expected to participate productively in teams, offering ideas or judgments that are |

|purposeful in moving the team toward goals, asking relevant and insightful questions, tolerating a range of positions in decision-making, and |

|evaluating the work of the group based on agreed-upon criteria. |
