Block C: The rough draft of your transformational narrative is due on Monday for peer editing. Today we watched this TED talk. Afterwards you were asked to write an informal response to the video. I will be marking for level of insight, thought, analysis and ability to show your understanding. Here are the questions from the overhead:
How can WE change the world?
Write a page or two response to the TED talk by Jane McGonigal. In your response address the following questions:
1. Elaborate on your reaction to the talk
a. Do you agree - explain why you think she might be on to something
b. If you disagree - explain why you have this opinion, try to be specific - avoid speaking in generalizations
c. Would you ever consider playing any of the games she mentions? Why or why not?
2. In what ways do you think that change is possible?
3. What role do video games play in our lives? What are the benefits and the drawbacks of using more and more technology?
4. What can we do today to change the world?
Block D: We have our first lit circle meeting on Monday - make sure you have your reading done and your stickies complete - ready to be a contributing member of the group! I will also be doing a binder check to see that you have all of your dividers with your notes organized!
