11.07 - "2081" Analysis and Comparison

We started today's class by watching the short film "2081" that we started in class yesterday. We had several people absent from class yesterday and the rest of the class wanted to see the beginning of the film again so we watched the full film uninterrupted. While watching, everyone was to take notes on the plot outline in the film to help in comparing it to Vonnegut's original "Harrison Bergeron" short story.

See yesterday's post to watch the short film or see Mr. Collins after school to watch "2081".

(So far, we are only working with the first two pages of this document)

After we finished the film, everyone had the remaining time to complete the outline comparison and respond to the question on the back of the sheet regarding whether changes to the story in the film made it stronger or weaker overall.

We will continue to work with this comparison next class.

Homework:

If you did not finish your outline comparison or response to the "Critic's Corner" question in class, do so for homework.
