The first science fiction selection we will be reading is the opening (Part One) to Arthur C. Clarke's 2001: A Space Odyssey. As you read, please stop and reflect often. As "close readers," you know you should ask yourself questions about the reading! As the class reads onward, Mr. Lyons will ask questions on this blog, and you will post your answers as "comments" to the site. MAKE SURE YOU READ EVERYONE'S COMMENTS! This is how we will communicate and have "classroom discussions" for our Sci-Fi mini-unit (and other units in the future). In lieu of turning in hard copies of homework assignments, YOU WILL POST ON THIS SITE AND RECEIVE GRADES FOR YOUR POSTS! Mr. Lyons will check your comments frequently.
And now, enjoy: 2001: A Space Odyssey
