Option 3: Children’s Book Create a children’s book that is an age-appropriate way to explain a dystopian world to a child.

You must have a minimum of 15 pages; each page MUST include pictures and text in the same way that children’s books do. Your completed book should include at least 7/9 dystopian characteristics. Your book must be neat, colorful, bound neatly together, and include a cover/title page.

Your magazine must be at least five pages long and focused on looking like an actual travel magazine. Different sections should provide all the information potential visitors would want to know. Your magazine should have at least three “articles,” smaller boxes of information, and images. But REMEMBER! You WANT people to come, so you will have to figure out how to make all these bad things still sound appealing. Your society should include at least 7/9 dystopian characteristics. Your magazine must be neat, colorful, bound neatly together, and include a cover/title page.
