WEEK OF NOVEMBER 5 to
NOVEMBER 9
The following plan is
for the entire week for all four LA classes.
The students will
conduct a research and presentation project on dystopia in preparation for the
dystopian unit that will begin in full force upon my return. There are class specific guidelines on my
desk – included in the guidelines are groupings for each class that they are
not allowed to change. There is also a
checklist/rubric that they must fill out as well at the end of the presentation
day. If you can’t get to it, then I will
do it with them when I return.
The guidelines are
very specific. I require that they
annotate (they have had lessons and are practicing, so they know what to do)
the guidelines BEFORE they begin so they know what they need to do to
accomplish this by weeks end. I suspect
block H, E, and F will not get to the presentations until I return – that’s
okay, but they must be ready to present on the MONDAY (Nov12)
Below are the
guidelines and the topic (I just copied H blocks for you so you can see)
DYSTOPIAN-UTOPIA
RESEARCH AND PRESENTATION PROJECT
Annotate these guidelines individually so you are fully aware
of the assignment and of the expectations
Before we begin our unit on
DYSTOPIAN LITERATURE, we need to understand Utopian and Dystopian worlds.
Timeline – THIS PROJECT WILL BE
WORKED ON DURING THE WEEK OF NOV 5-9 – all
blocks, all days
· 1 Block to research and plan presentation
· 1 Block to put presentation together, proofread, and practice
· 1 Block for presentations
|
GOAL:
· To research dystopian themes,
ideas, characteristics and examples and share/explain/teach what you have
learned with the class in a visually appealing, well-executed presentation.
ESSENTIAL
IDEAS:
· How do dystopian
themes in art and literature help us to question the way we look at the
world?
· What are the
characteristics of a dystopian society and how can we identify these
characteristics in art and literature?
· Does dystopian art
and literature reflect OR shape culture?
· What is more
important to have as a citizen of a community – SAFETY – FREEDOM
– INDIVIDUALITY – EQUALITY
|
YOUR
JOB is
to create an information rich, visually appealing presentation about
DYSTOPIAN/UTOPIAN IDEALS AND CHARACTERISTICS that you and your partners will
present to the class in an organized and formal style.
