https://padlet.com/jwinter49/6odqf48krkdg07ob Sometimes discussing the text is hard. This is a place for you to place ideas while class is going on or long after. It is here that we will get to explore ideas and really converse with each other about ALL the things we want to talk about in British Literature. en-us 2021-09-01 02:45:14 UTC 2023-05-18 17:53:24 UTC hello@padlet.com jwinter49 https://padlet.com/jwinter49/6odqf48krkdg07ob/wish/1712980601 Something I thought was interesting to consider within the context of our monster project. ]]> 2021-09-02 15:02:05 UTC https://padlet.com/jwinter49/6odqf48krkdg07ob/wish/1712980601 jwinter49 https://padlet.com/jwinter49/6odqf48krkdg07ob/wish/1712992025 Other interesting items to consider in your monster creation...]]> 2021-09-02 15:06:28 UTC https://padlet.com/jwinter49/6odqf48krkdg07ob/wish/1712992025 jwinter49 https://padlet.com/jwinter49/6odqf48krkdg07ob/wish/1715441856 Thought this would also be a cool thing for you to check out as you begin planning and creating your project. ]]> 2021-09-03 14:59:23 UTC https://padlet.com/jwinter49/6odqf48krkdg07ob/wish/1715441856 67709 https://padlet.com/jwinter49/6odqf48krkdg07ob/wish/1715770493 2021-09-03 17:33:37 UTC https://padlet.com/jwinter49/6odqf48krkdg07ob/wish/1715770493 67441 https://padlet.com/jwinter49/6odqf48krkdg07ob/wish/1715770978 This is my favorite fictional monster. This is from a fictional universe in which monsters exist and are contained/tracked by a secret organization: the SCP foundation]]> 2021-09-03 17:33:51 UTC https://padlet.com/jwinter49/6odqf48krkdg07ob/wish/1715770978 67441 https://padlet.com/jwinter49/6odqf48krkdg07ob/wish/1715779970 This is favorite short story about an everyday horror.]]> 2021-09-03 17:38:09 UTC https://padlet.com/jwinter49/6odqf48krkdg07ob/wish/1715779970 96685 https://padlet.com/jwinter49/6odqf48krkdg07ob/wish/1715782322 I think that I speak for at least a fair amount of students here when I say that this class is at its best when we're discussing what we recently read. I personally learn best through discussion about what I am interested in, the philosophy of literature is a star example of that. I want to hear from some students what their opinions are on having more class-wide discussions in the class.]]> 2021-09-03 17:39:25 UTC https://padlet.com/jwinter49/6odqf48krkdg07ob/wish/1715782322 69529 https://padlet.com/jwinter49/6odqf48krkdg07ob/wish/1715788216 So my monster idea is a virus that is given too much machine learning and eventually gains sentience followed by morals that end up being anti-human. Like with school shootings (active thing right now), corrupt governments, the decaying climate... It's fair, actually.

My idea is to create a video game (via Scratch, I don't actually know how to program but that'll do for short-term...) that's designed to look corrupted, and there are "glitches" that are what makes the game difficult by cheating against the player, breaking the fourth wall and being pretty creepy if I succeed...

Anyway! Any questions or comments or feedback? I'd love to hear people's thoughts so I can improve this!]]> 2021-09-03 17:42:29 UTC https://padlet.com/jwinter49/6odqf48krkdg07ob/wish/1715788216 67709 https://padlet.com/jwinter49/6odqf48krkdg07ob/wish/1715797406 This might just be me, but the absolute funniest part of Frankenstein so far was when Victor and the creature reconnect and Victor tells the creature to get out of his sight, so the creature puts his hands over Victor's eyes.

It's been days since I read that scene and it's still so funny.]]> 2021-09-03 17:47:10 UTC https://padlet.com/jwinter49/6odqf48krkdg07ob/wish/1715797406 56892 https://padlet.com/jwinter49/6odqf48krkdg07ob/wish/1715829720 I find SCP really interesting and when looking through SCPs I found this one. It is quite humorous and if you guys have an interest in anomalous beings and like reading then you should definitely check out the SCP website. You can find some interesting stories on there.]]> 2021-09-03 18:05:32 UTC https://padlet.com/jwinter49/6odqf48krkdg07ob/wish/1715829720 https://padlet.com/jwinter49/6odqf48krkdg07ob/wish/1715835386 https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMRDTmfxM/]]> 2021-09-03 18:08:55 UTC https://padlet.com/jwinter49/6odqf48krkdg07ob/wish/1715835386 67709 https://padlet.com/jwinter49/6odqf48krkdg07ob/wish/1715851227 2021-09-03 18:17:09 UTC https://padlet.com/jwinter49/6odqf48krkdg07ob/wish/1715851227 jwinter49 https://padlet.com/jwinter49/6odqf48krkdg07ob/wish/1716008753 Next week, we are going to start diving into all the fantastic issues the text raises around ethics. For those of you who want to get ahead, the attached article will be read together in class. And our focus will shift to evaluating the text's ideas regarding innovation and science. Should we side with Shelley, should we distrust science? Should we distrust humans to be responsible with the "things" that they create? Should we have more oversight, regulation, and control over new technologies? Can you think of an example right now that supports this?]]> 2021-09-03 20:17:20 UTC https://padlet.com/jwinter49/6odqf48krkdg07ob/wish/1716008753 jwinter49 https://padlet.com/jwinter49/6odqf48krkdg07ob/wish/1746071637 2021-09-16 14:03:13 UTC https://padlet.com/jwinter49/6odqf48krkdg07ob/wish/1746071637 66915 https://padlet.com/jwinter49/6odqf48krkdg07ob/wish/1782682268 https://xkcd.com/1589/]]> 2021-09-30 23:10:18 UTC https://padlet.com/jwinter49/6odqf48krkdg07ob/wish/1782682268
