For our MOM: For those times when it's just me, and I can't connect with anyone else, how can I keep myself better company?
JOURNAL TOPIC:
Write a commercial for Fahrenheit 451. What images would you show?
What music would you play? What 3-5 ideas would you share to get people
interested enough to buy and read the book?
AGENDA:
1. MOM
2. Journal
3. Our meeting
4. Post
POST:
1. When is independence important, and when is interdependence important? (title: UNITED WE STAND?)
2. Today we read a passage in which Captain Beatty said that the government didn't need to ban books, because people didn't want to read anymore. He said that slowing down and thinking made people sad and brought them into conflict. Is that true?
And: Why don't more people in our culture think of intelligence as a superpower? Why doesn't the media and even our own school champion academic accomplishments the way we celebrate football games and rallies? Why do so many people fear, criticize, and insult smart people in class or the workplace? Have we become the society Ray Bradbury feared? (title: ANTI-INTELLECTUALISM IN AMERICA)
