Ayn Rand's Anthem

Each year, my students read Ayn Rand's Anthem, a dystopian novel about a a young man growing up in a futuristic dark age. The book allows students to further explore the course theme of the role of the individual in society. Students also get to develop their writing skills by participating in the annual Anthem Essay Contest.
Students will write an essay that may be entered into the Annual Anthem essay contest sponsored by the Ayn Rand Institute.  Click the link for more details about the contest.
