SUMMARY:Talking About Technology: Story-Driven Dialogue for ages 10-13
DESCRIPTION:How does technology change our human experience? In the digital
  age\, how do we define our humanity and our values? \n\nIn this four-day
  literature course\, students explore how technology shapes human connecti
 on\, creativity\, and emotion through three classic short stories: “The 
 Veldt” by Ray Bradbury\, “The Fun They Had” by Isaac Asimov\, and 
 “EPICAC” by Kurt Vonnegut. Each day’s 1‑hour session invites stude
 nts to read closely\, discuss deeply\, and write thoughtfully using two co
 re tools: a 6‑question reading framework (analyzing the narrator\, chara
 cterization\, setting\, plot\, message\, and theme) and 4 writing moves (s
 ummary\, claim\, evidence\, analysis).\n\nBy the end of the week\, student
 s will:\n\n 	Analyze how authors imagine technology’s impact on family\,
  learning\, and love\n 	Strengthen their ability to support claims with te
 xtual evidence\n 	Participate in a Socratic seminar exploring the connecti
 ons between texts and ideas\n 	Draft and refine a short essay with guided 
 feedback\n
