In class:

~Sign up once to present or discuss Fishbowl style (3 roles- Presenters in the inner circle ask questions and keep the conversation moving along, Discussers in the inner circle talk discuss, Everyone on the outer circle of the "fishbowl" is discussing the topic on the class blog but texting language is unacceptable)
~Took a cellphone poll: "Is watching TV bad?", and "Censorship is never justified"
~Fishbowl discussion about "Harrison Bergeron" and "The Pedestrian"

Harrison Bergeron:

• What is good to make everyone equal?
• Do you think the gov. was also handicapped- was it a communistic gov.?

Pedestrian:

• How is the gov. controlling the people here?
• Is this a utopia: perfect society, or a distopia: non dis-functional perfection?
