Podcast Talk:

Think about the various stories and shows we have watched:

- "The Veldt" by Ray Bradbury
- "A Sound of Thunder" by Ray Bradbury
- "The Pedestrian" by Ray Bradbury
- "The Feeling of Power" by Isaac Asimov
- "The Last Question" by Isaac Asimov
- "Robot Dreams" by Isaac Asimov
- "Eye of the Beholder" Twilight Zone
- "People are Alike" Twilight Zone
- "The Monsters are due on Maple Street" Twilight Zone

In your groups, talk about these stories.  Use the following questions below to help guide you.  You may discuss other questions.  

- What are some of the main topics presented in the stories and shows? 
- What the authors or directors trying to convey to the reader/viewer?
- Share what these stories tell us about the future
- Share what these stories tell us about human nature
- All of these stories are over 50 years old...what makes these stories tick?  What makes the stories and the shows last?
- Do you think that people will continue to watch and read these stories in the future?
- Which is the best story (written or video)?
- Which is the worst story?
- Share your vision of the future...

Once you have finished your recording, upload your work and share it with me.  samuel.chiang0@gmail.com
