Big Question:

How are performances similar to and different from written stories?

Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen.

This week we'll talk about classic stories and ask the question "How are performances similar to and different from written stories?" We'll read the scene from the play Invasion from Mars, based on the novel The War of the Worlds by H.G Wells, We'll also read the informational text The History of Radio, about the development of radio since the late 1800's.
