I feel like this is an excellent book for that shows Element Two: Respect for Others. "Students gain respect for the history and characteristics of people different from themselves. By building on the natural empathy of children, teachers encourage students to care about 'unfair' conditions that have affected others." Clary and Jace are very different in their own ways but so similar at the end. There is also Simon who is Clary's best friend who got exposed to the Shadowhunters' world.
The classroom activities would be having them create their own dystopian story and share it with the class if they wish. Can border on realistic fiction if they want to make their surrounding realistic similar to Harry Potter series.
This book is also great for element two: respect for others, I think, because of Magnus Bane and Alec's relationship/Alec+Jace. I think it's a very good portrayal of non-heterosexual relationships, it's never made to be a big deal (from what I can remember), it's the same as a hetero relationship or crush. It's interesting you classify this as dystopian, because for me it's more magical realism. The world is still going on as normal, there's just also magical stuff happening.
