Activities & Assignments
PP: latin root

We will begin with an achieve article on virtual reality and its uses in modern education. What are the potential drawbacks to the rise of Virtual Reality as a norm?

After the achieve article, the instructor will point out the close resemblance of the nursery to VR. Students will be tasked with pursuing the story and finding examples of some other technologies Bradbury seems to have predicted. What is still far fetched?

From here we will discuss some similarities between “the Veldt” and “What Happened During the Ice Storm.” The rising tension is fed by several discoveries until the climax of the story is reached. What are those discoveries?

Finally we will work to identify the theme of the work. The instructor will define theme and explore the themes of past stories before setting students out to find the theme of “The Veldt.”
