Science+Fiction

=Science Fiction=



The [|Science Fiction]theme is rich with connections from astronomy and anthropology to mythology and zoology! I would definitely do a unit, or part of this unit, with War of the Worlds - compare the original book to the radio show, the first movie and the latest movie by Spielberg. One year just for fun I gave my fourth graders large art paper and markers and let them draw as they listened to the radio show. They loved it. It's a part of history.

See the web site for the [|Science Fiction Museum and Hall of Fame] in Seattle. They have information on every short story, novel, poem, television show and movie in sci fi.

Also I recommend that you acquire a copy of [|How William Shatner Changed the World]. It has many ideas for connecting science fiction to today's scientists, inventors, astronauts and technologies.
