Literary Movement Refresher Notes

We will not be reading any more *new stuff* this year.

Instead of continuing to read new material into May, we are now going to start looking back at all the stuff we have read this year. We have read quite a bit, so I thought it might be helpful to have some refresher notes over the different literary periods we have studied. The notes we took today are a formative grade.

Humble ISD's Student Survey

From the district: "Students will need to enter their student ID number to access the survey. Student responses will be kept anonymous. Schools receive the summary of all responses, not individual responses." Survey will remain open to students until May 8, 2019.

Science Fiction Writing Assignment

This assignment is due at the beginning of class on Block Day this week.

Now that you have seen and read multiple examples of Sci-Fi, it’s YOUR turn! Write one of the following:

Your own original Sci-Fi story OR a continuation/ alternate ending to one of the stories from The Illustrated Man

If you choose to write your own story, consider:

• What do we currently know about science?
• What might the future look like based on our understanding of science right now?
• How might technological/scientific advancements cause issues in the future?

If you choose to continue the story or write an alternate ending:

• What story are you writing? ________________________
• Be sure to maintain Bradbury’s characterization and themes.
• Alternate ending or continuation must be logical to the events in the story.
