  1. Cell Phone Addiction

  2. Opening Activity • Do the “Literal vs. Abstract” activity

  3. For use with Opening Activity

  4. Reading Comprehension We corrected #3 from the last assignment. Cell phones are more dangerous than slot machines because they are always near (we have to go somewhere to play the slots), and they are necessary for everyday living (we can’t really get rid of our phones).

  5. Last Exit Pass Results from the last exit pass were not successful. We made comments on your responses, but giving grades would have been depressing for us and for you. These are formative exercises, so we will use them to adjust the teaching, which should improve the learning.

  6. Re-focus We’re going to give the “Cell Phone Skeleton” activity another try. The prompts on the screens are different.

  7. Groups • Today you will choose your own groups

  8. Question 1 Let’s assume that the message of this artwork is “The more humans evolve, the closer they are to destroying themselves.” A. List the ways in which cell phones would have helped the cavemen survive. B. Explain how our lives our so much easier than the lives our caveman ancestors had.

  9. Pass the paper to the left.Question 2 Let’s assume that the message of this artwork is “The more humans evolve, the closer they are to destroying themselves.” A. Describe the process a body goes through to become a skeleton. B. Explain how theskeleton is the perfect way to show the destruction of humans.

  10. Pass the paper to the left.Question 3 Let’s assume that the message of this artwork is “The more humans evolve, the closer they are to destroying themselves.” A. List the things we do with two arms. B. Explain how cell phones might leave the human race with only one arm.

  11. Pass the paper to the left.Question 4 Let’s assume that the message of this artwork is “The more humans evolve, the closer they are to destroying themselves.” List the different ways we “kill” ourselves with cell phones. List the ways in which we lose our lives to cell phones. (Do not mention radio waves: be more abstract than that).

  12. Exit Pass Let’s assume that the message of this artwork is “The more humans evolve, the closer they are to destroying themselves.” Explain the message by showing the importance of the following details: - the cell phone - the skeleton - the “missing arm”
