Connecting the novel to contemporary issues such as genetic engineering or artificial intelligence could further enhance student engagement. 3.

Lesson plans could revolve around themes of social inequality, survival, and rebellion. Students could analyze the socio-political systems in the novel, discuss the impact of reality TV on society, or even create their own dystopian societies. Role-playing activities, character analysis, and creative projects could also be incorporated to enrich the learning experience. In addition to the mentioned novels, there are numerous other science fiction works suitable for high school students, such as "Brave New World" by Aldous Huxley, "Ender's Game" by Orson Scott Card, or "The Giver" by Lois Lowry.
