Extending Learning

Encourage tinkering with ideas, relationships, connections. Set up situations where students have to find information not readily available in school texts. Provide opportunity for students to design open-ended explorations of the concept. Provide multiple options so students can plan a unique "proof" of learning.


View film of play. Epitaphs for More's tombstone.

Objective: To further focus on choices made and the revelation of self.

Activity: if another choice had been made.

2. Class will watch Paul Scofield movie of the play. Class discussion will concern whether "seeing" the play alters our opinions. The discussion will refer back to the idea of the metaphor for "self" and analyze the techniques of metaphor creation and use.

3. Students will develop epitaphs for More's tombstone, each of which must be in metaphorical form, e.g., "Here lies the fly from which the little boy tore the wings."

Assessment: Student contributions to discussion and caliber of epitaphs.
