(S1C22) OPF & A Tale of Two Dystopias

10/23/2014

0 Comments

 
Not coincidentally, the first chapter of Our Posthuman Future deals with the dystopias of Brave New World and 1984 -- the two novels we'll read as a class this quarter.

In-Class Today
Today we will be discussing Chapters 1-2 of OPF. You will have an in-class group assignment. Your group today -- and throughout this unit -- will be your biotech research group.
 
1. Download this set of discussion questions: Chapters 1-2 (DOC)

2. Your group will be responsible for answering the two questions that correspond to your group number and defining the one vocabulary term that corresponds to your group number. You will have approximately 15 minutes to formulate your responses, which you will record on your eWorksheet.

3. In addition, you will also formulate one analytical question raised by the questions you answered or the responses you gave. This should be a question that can potentially generate class discussion.

3. Your group will then present your responses to the class -- for discussion. Your presentation is worth 15 points.

For next class -- Tues. (A4), Wed. (A2)
Your second reading assignment is Chapters 3-4. Be prepared for a quiz on this material.

Revised & developed Frankenstein essays
Today, I will be returning your in-class essays with a self-evaluation checklist. Your assignment now is to revise and develop this essay out of class. Use the self-evaluation checklist as a guide. You will be turning in your in-class essay, the self-evaluation, and the revised essay all together on A3:Thursday, October 30/ B1:Friday, October 31. Must be printed out!
