Hi, I’m a high school English teacher in Northern California who is rolling out a unit featuring The Handmaid’s Tale--we’re starting Thursday! My question: What would you say to a group of students from an affluent community weaned on science and technology to convince them of the enduring relevance of the novel? Thank you so much for your consideration; it’s been an amazing learning and professional experience teaching your novel—my students brought this ama to my attention and I couldn’t be more thrilled at the opportunity as well as the timing!

Thank you so much for replying--My redditor student and I are in a flurry. I have my marching orders and will get to work. Again, thank you. This is going to make an excellent opening unit discussion.
