Well this blog is part of The Four Rivers charter Public School English class; Response to Modernization: Literature
Overview:
Students in this class will be examining the relationship between technology and community through literature. What is progress? How has our relationship to technology shaped our culture, and what does this mean for our present and future? We will be reading selective nonfiction about this relationship while studying dystopian fiction: texts that describe utopias gone wrong. We will examine the ways these texts reveal our fears and our values. Along the way, we will propose a tech-free challenge to our community: how does living without modern conveniences affect our interactions? The results of this experiment will be documented and discussed, a we will create narratives that articulate our visions for the ideal coexistence of technology and community.
Right now we are using the book Technopoly by Neil Postman
