Lesson Introduction: Exploring Tech Art

Objective: Today, we will delve into the intersection of technology and art, examining how artists use digital media to comment on our society and personal experiences.

Hook (5 minutes):

  • Visual Stimulus: Begin by projecting a thought-provoking piece of digital art related to technology. (Below image)
  • Prompt: Ask students to take a moment to observe the artwork. Give them a minute of silence to gather their thoughts.

Discussion Starter:

  • Pose an open-ended question: “What emotions or thoughts does this artwork evoke for you?” Allow a few students to share their initial reactions to create a sense of engagement.

Transition to Questions:

  • Context Setting: Explain that art can be a powerful commentary on our lives, especially in today’s tech-driven world. Highlight that the questions they’ll be discussing will help them critically analyze the artwork and reflect on their own relationship with technology. Questions below.

May 12 2025 Sightlines 9 - Final Review - Pangaea - 158/159 Text & Next Story - Page 10 - Lambs to the Slaughter by Ronald Dahl.

Silent Read personal books 20 min. Final Review - Pangaea - 158/159 Text - Sightlines 9 on Teacher desk. Review - Metaphor -  Student NOTES to copy: A metaphor is a figure of speech that describes an object, idea, or action in a way that isn’t literally true but helps explain or illustrate it by saying it is something else. Instead of using “like” or “as” (which would make it a simile), a metaphor states that one thing is another to draw a symbolic comparison. In Sally Ito’s poem Pangaea , the poet employs metaphors to explore themes of unity, separation, and collective memory. The title itself, Pangaea , refers to the supercontinent that existed before the landmasses drifted apart—a powerful metaphor for a time of wholeness and connection. One notable metaphor in the poem is: “We are all from the same continent, from the same void of disturbed memories.” Next Task: Notes: New Piece -  Page 10 - Lambs to the Slaughter by Ronald Dahl.
