For the record, I will be going over the basic plot line for the first novel in each series; while it's impossible to really get into the plot without a few spoilers, I will do my best to stay away from real spoilers.
Lesson 1: What Does 'Dystopia' Mean?
Lesson 2: A Short Introduction to the Worlds
Lesson 3: The Hunger Games
Lesson 4: The Maze Runner
Lesson 5: Divergent

You must earn at least 150 points in order to pass this class and earn a quill for the semester. The most points I can award for the semester is 300. If you would like to keep track of your grades so far, all the points will be listed here!
Extensions:
All of the assignments and such are due by the 15th of January or June, so I sadly cannot offer any extensions. That being said, you will have all semester to turn in your assignments.
