The class started off with defining what academics are.

- Acade stems from the word Academy
Class shifted to...
How is learning organized in our school? (What are the parts of these objects)
- English/ language arts
- Health, physical education and wellness
- Mathematics
- Science, technology, and engineering
- Social studies
- Technology, careers, and consumer science
- Visual and performing arts
- World languages and ESL
Each group came together to pick a topic and find information about their topic to post on google classroom as a comment. Once a topic was chosen, students had to break down the content.
- Pulled information about your topic from this website
Examples...
1. My groups comment (Hunter): Social studies involves the study of people and groups of people throughout history, how they interact, philosophies and world views, and how such things impact society as a whole.

6. Sean Hargrave comment:
Science teaches people how to interpret data that they have either been given or have obtained, and form a conclusion from their findings. Kids are also taught how to figure out what is true and accurate through the scientific method during hands on activities and challenges.
7. Vaughn Thomas comment:
Visual and Performing Arts- Art, Sculpture, Theater, Performing arts(dancing), Poetry, Band/Orchestra, etc.
Many artistic disciplines involve aspects of the visual arts as well as arts of other types.
Visual and performing arts can enhance many skills such as creativity, problem solve, instrument playing and understanding. People can also be interpreted and respect other cultures and Foster self reflections that build constructive opinions.
After the class transitioned to this Question:
Imagine an expert in ANY of these fields. What would interest them about No Country, Wall-E, or Get Out? Use the topics and compare to the films to extract a social lens.
Since my group used Social Studies, here are some examples of extracted social lens:
- A social studies professor would apply the conflict in "No Country" to past events to predict what would happen.
- A social studies professor would analyze the race relations in "Get Out" and compare them to how they have been in the past.
- A STEM professor would critique the probability of being able to construct such a large spacecraft in the film "Wall E".
Next, the groups had to pick the MPV claims and then share with the class. Towards the end of class Mr. Rivers posted an assignment, “Academic lens tweets” on google classroom for us to review for tomorrow in preparation for our new film. Be prepared to watch the film Back to the future!
