Bellringer:
Write a brief Sci-Fi story about the picture. Click here for the explanation.
Recap: We began by reviewing the Elements of Science Fiction. Sci-Fi is a very specific genre. It needs to contain one of the required elements in order to be considered Science Fiction, or it is not part of the genre. The link to the above article has the elements and breaks them down nicely.
We then began reading, "There Will Come Soft Rains," by Ray Bradbury. He is one of the leading Science Fiction authors, and one of the best. His writing is very descriptive and beautifully executed. When you are finished reading, there is a questionnaire that goes along with the reading. Both need to be completed for homework for tomorrow if you did not finish in class today.
Please consider how the story is similar to today's world. Bradbury wrote about this "future"; yet, we seem to be living it out.
Have a nice evening!
