Today we viewed some clips on various Dystopian societies. We saw a clip from Logan's Run which showed that age and classic arts and literature were devalued in that society. That was the basic criticism of our society by the film makers. We saw a clip of a piece explaining the philosophy behind the matrix. Finally we saw a clip from the film Equilibrium to show yet another vision of a dystopian society. The assignment that goes with all this is to create a synopsis for a movie based on the principles of a dystopian society. The project will be done in groups and must be completed before the end of this term. Each group must present their work orally in front of the class. Remember that the Short Story Unit Final Exam is tomorrow. You need to know the names of the stories, the principle characters, character and story types, themes, plots and other terms.
Bonus: Play the game and email me a screenshot of your score or take a digital picture. Upload that to an mp3 player and show me that tomorrow. (Low tech paper will be accepted this last time!) Thanks Daniel!!!
