Digital Issues in today's world

As we prepare for our reading of Fahrenheit 451 and/or 1984, we will be discussing the issues of living in the increasingly digital and "connected" world of today's society.

Preparing your essays using proper citation and the ICE method for body paragraphs

As always, we will be using the following the course Essential Questions to guide our discussions and inquiry.

1. What does it take for someone to "come of age" and be ready to assume the responsibilities of adulthood?
2. How do our surroundings, upbringing, and experiences help influence the kind of people we become?
3. How does the literature we read help us better understand the complexities of our world and our place in it?
