The Empire of Light
3.Inquiry in Action: Between Good and Evil: Duality in Contemporary Society (15% strategies; 20% final product; approximately 20 pages of writing overall). Weeks 12-15.
In this inquiry, students will identify and explore a complex issue identified through their readings and discussions in CORE related to modern understandings and expressions of good and evil.
Students will engage in the same writing process steps as in the previous inquiries with a stronger emphasis on information literacy development (identifying information needs, searching for sources, evaluating sources, and integration/documentation of sources). Students will have some choice in which strategies they will engage.
To stimulate your thinking further on this topic, we may consult some more modern films that engage this duality:
Maleficent
Venom
V for Vendetta
The Professional
