Mr. Jones writing;
The story we read was "The Fun They Had" and it was a futuristic story written by Isaac Asimov. It took place in the year 2155 and the plot centered around the idea that one day "teachers" would be present in each home and students would be educated there. The "teacher" was actually a computer. The story was written in approximately 1970, which makes the story quite extraordinary, given that on-line courses are quite the norm these days. "The fun they had" is a comment made by a young girl who tried to imagine what it was like going somewhere else, other than home, to learn and be with other children.
No new HW was assigned. RJ's, Glory Field packets, Glory Field quiz, etc are due/will be given on Monday the 14th, as there is no Period 5 on Friday. Adios!
