Unit 1: Braving New Worlds
Throughout history, the quest for survival and a better life has driven people to explore new frontiers, whether it’s migrating to different lands, adapting to challenging climates, or seeking freedom from societal constraints. In this unit, students explore the themes of survival, adaptation, and personal choice as they explore two vastly different worlds: the Arctic tundra and a dystopian future society.
