=__Brave New World Review Wiki:__=

This is the place where you will review the novel. I want you to review the literal facts, but then I also want you to think about deeper understanding and connections. You will need to work together to gather as much information and analysis as possible on this site. However, you will be graded individually for your contributions. Think of this as the wikipedia site for the novel- get as much information and evidence as possible to use as a resource.

Please DO NOT use outside reading resources for this- I want it all to come from your thinking and the text. You may use outside resources and links for the Real World Connections Page only.
