Welcome to your Senior year! I look forward to having you as a member of our World Lit class. This is the site where you will find helpful and essential links and information for our class.

10-11 World Lit Syllabus (click to download in MS Word)

It’s going to be a great year!

NOTE: Your theme *cannot* be “Deckard is a Replicant” – that is too vague.

Your theme instead should be a specific idea about life, philosophy, existentialism, the creation inevitably turns on the creator/the prodigal son, identity (example: memories create identity) that relates to Blade Runner and HOW Ridley Scott demonstrates the theme.

Other articles of interest:

NOTE: WHEN YOU QUOTE THE ARTICLES, YOU MUST INCLUDE CITATIONS.  Failure to cite a source is plagiarism.

Memorable Quotes in Blade Runner (IMDB)

BBC News: Blade Runner Riddle Solved

Wired Magazine: Q&A with Ridley Scott

These are starting points, and may not serve as your questions.

Make your question much more specific than the “starters” below.

Remember, your objective is to engage the class in an active and thoughtful discussion about the text.

AVOID:             simple questions
question with a “yes” or “no” answer
plot summary questions

Topics to cover: Plot- WHAT, WHEN, HOW, PREDICT

How is the plot developing?

What has happened so far and what are the ramifications of…
Why does the author write about….
What do you think may happen in the future?

Characters- WHO, WHY

Who is involved?
Why do characters act as they do, or what’s their motivation?
What purpose are the characters serving?

Setting- WHERE, WHY, TO WHAT PURPOSE

Why the author chose this setting
How does it affect characters
To what end does the setting exist?

Opinion

What is the reader’s opinion of _____ events/plot/etc
Use contrasting opinions to generate discussion.

Remember, the quality of your questions will dictate the success of the class discussion!

“No Exit” Graded Discussion Prompts

Bring a detailed outline to participate in a graded discussion. This will be your major grade for the unit. You will be assessed on quality of prepared notes, participation in discussion, which entails asking questions, listening attentively, responding to the ideas of others.

My topic: ________

Topic A

The existentialist philosophy focuses on the individual’s need to create his or her own essence, or meaning, from the physical fact of living. No external forces, such as other people, religion, or national allegiance can provide this essence. Explain how Sartre presents this idea in the play.

Topic B

Ultimately, everyone is responsible for his or her own life, choices, and consequences. How is the idea of personal responsibility, or lack thereof, presented via characters in the play?

Topic C

The characters in the play act as each other’s torturers. Explain how this symbolizes an inappropriate dependence on other people. What does Sartre say about this dependence?

Topic D

Sartre uses the notions of death, hell and eternity as tools to present an example of how not to live. Explain how these ideas come to symbolize life improperly lived.

Delirium- “Angelicus”

Barlow Girl- “Mirror”

Lost Prophets- “Rooftops”

Nine Inch Nails- “Meet Your Master”

Rise Against- “Drones”

The Beatles- “Strawberry Fields”

Michael Andrews & Gary Jules- “Mad World” – VERSION A

Michael Andrews & Gary Jules- “Mad World”- VERSION B

Let’s get those comments going!
