TU FUI EGO ERIS
Class 45 - 4/23/15 - 4/24/154/28/2015 Today's class focused on the common science fiction theme of the individual vs. society. We began with a quickwrite:
After the quickwrite, we discussed student responses to these questions. Next, we had a class discussion on several themes and elements of I, Robot in the reading so far. This was followed by a short pop quiz on the novel. If you were absent for the quiz, please let me know. Then, I gave a personal narrative assignment based on the theme of the individual vs. society. 1. Write about a time in which you went against the norm. Explain the details of the situation (what happened and why), and explain how you felt about this situation. OR 2. Write about a viewpoint you hold that is at odds with the majority viewpoint. Why do you hold this view? How has it affected your life? This narrative should be a full single side of lined paper or typed, double-spaced, and in 12 point font. CHULA VISTA HOMEWORK: - Finish your personal narrative, and read to page 90 in I, Robot. LA MESA HOMEWORK: - You will not have on-site classes for the next two weeks. Over these two weeks, please complete the following, and bring them with you to our next class: 1. Read to page 143 in I, Robot. 2. Finish your personal narrative writing assignment (see above). 3.
