Dystopian World Planning Worksheet

Use the prompts to invent a society where life is difficult or unfair. There is no single correct world: the answers provide examples to help you get started.

Invent the setting

Begin with the place and the event that changed it.

1.Give your imagined dystopian world a name.
2.Which event most directly brought about the society you are creating?
  • A series of severe climate disasters
  • A new technology took control of essential services
  • A dangerous illness spread across the world
  • A long conflict destroyed many communities
  • Another event of your choice
3.In two or three sentences, explain how that event changed life for people.
4.Choose all the conditions that could describe the landscape in your world.
  • Thick smog hangs over the streets
  • Many buildings have been abandoned or damaged
  • Floodwater covers parts of the city
  • Few trees or wild plants remain
  • Long droughts have turned fields to dust
  • Something else: describe it in your notes

Power and rules

Decide who has authority and how they keep it.

5.Who governs this society? Name the ruler, ruling group or type of government.
6.Write three rules that everyone living there is expected to obey.
7.Select two methods the government uses to keep people obedient.
  • Cameras monitor public spaces
  • Travel between districts requires a permit
  • Some books and broadcasts are forbidden
  • Food supplies are controlled by officials
  • People are threatened with harsh penalties
  • Devices are used to influence people's thoughts
8.What might happen to someone who secretly breaks one of the rules?

Daily life and story details

Add details that could help a reader picture an ordinary day in this place.

9.Describe a resident's ordinary day in three or four sentences. Include at least one detail about work, food or travel.
10.Name one piece of technology people are allowed to use and one that the authorities have banned.
11.Create a short slogan that the ruling group might display to persuade people to obey.
12.Sketch a simple map or symbol that could represent your dystopian world.
Use this space for your sketch.
