1. Review the movies/short stories . . . "The Veldt"and "A Sound of Thunder"
- If you could take a trip on a time machine, would you? If so, to where and when would you go? If not, why not?
- If you could take a sip of something that would help you to make good choices the rest of your life, separate good from evil, would you do it? What are the benefits of a “utopian” society? What are the drawbacks?
- For homework, react to one of these questions. Write a one page response. Post in Canvas by Thursday. (25 pts.)
2. The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde - Do you know the story?
Concerns:
- Convenience
- Cost
- Safety
- Societal impact
- Religious worries
- Moral/ethical concerns
Let's watch a few scenes from some very old movies!
3. Let's talk in pairs- talk about each topic for one minute then
move on to the next partner and topic. (Speed talking) Listen for the signal to move! By the
end of the speed discussions, you will have listened to and shared many new
ideas!
- Technology
and health.
- Technology
and safety.
- Technology
and communication.
- Technology
and war.
- Technology
and exploration.
- Technology
and driving.
- Technology
and parenting.
- Technology
and . . . (Let's continue the brainstorm!)
Today we are going to look at art. How do artists view your
chosen technological item? Find a sculpture, painting, drawing, or
photograph and answer the following:
. Looking at Art -
- What
is the title of the work? How does the title help you to understand the
message? What is the message?
- What
is the most obvious image in the work. To where is your eye drawn?
- Look
at the colors. Are they symbolic? Would the message be different if the
colors were different? Explain.
- Study
the shading and shadowing. How do these elements impact the overall
message?
- Who
is the artist? When was the work created? Is the artist's message about a
specific event in history? What was going on in the world when the work
was created? Is the art universal - speaks to people of all times and in
all places, or is it limited to the audience for whom it was created.
- How
does the work relate to us in 21st century America?
Here is an example. Suppose I had selected clocks or watches or time travel as
the focus of my study, this might be an excellent choice.
He is perhaps best known for his 1931 painting The Persistence
of Memory, showing melting clocks in a landscape setting.
Find the picture.
That is the first task.
Post your picture and answers to the questions
in CANVAS. We will share in class on Thursday. (20 for posting = 10 for sharing
on Thursday.)
