Targeted for Middle school students, PLA with Exodus 2055 promises to engage students with both an intriguing peep into the near future and fun, interactive technology. With the click of a mouse or finger tap, students learn new vocabulary and critical language skills while they annotate, quote and take notes. Then, countering dystopia and encouraging further critical thinking, Exodus 2055 gives a positive Science-Fiction perspective and therefore proposes a non-threatening future. Writing prompts encourage students to create their own future as they utilize the same figurative language, notes and vocabulary words found in the story.
