Brains! More Brains!

So, we’re going to talk “Women’s Brains” in class today, but first…we’re going to find the quotes Gould chooses and comment on each one.

• What is your initial reaction to the quote?
• Why do you think Gould uses it? What’s the purpose behind it?
• How would you respond to the person who makes the quote? Explain.

Next step. Share your outlines with a buddy.  Explain how you will move from the current research to expert ideas to speculations about the future.  What can we learn from these technologies?

Then, I want to watch a short TED speech from Jimmy Wales talking about Wikipedia.

Then, if we have time, I’d like to take a look at a technology related essay:  Is Google Making us Stupid.  Briefly summarize their contents and then explain which ideas do you tend to accept and which don’t you accept.  Quote at least once from the article.  300-400 words. Also, of course, your 30 Futures rough draft is due Wednesday.
