Objectives Determine how students understand and evaluate technology prior to the ICE-9 curriculum so its impact can be evaluated. Preparation Prepare handouts. The student is one of the few people to see this information about the new technology. The United Nations should be informed about the technology and, specifically, whether the student evaluates it as good, bad, or both. The explanation of why the student believes this is the most important part.
Instructions Introduce the activity and distribute the handout to the class.
Read the essay aloud to the class to make reading level less of an issue in the evaluation of students skills and knowledge. Avoid providing any information not in the story other than why the student might address the United Nations. Script You are the United Nations representative from a small country and you have just received an important report on a new and very powerful technology. You believe that the United Nations should be informed, so you will give a speech on the technology, whether you think it is good, bad, or both, and why you think this. You will not have to give the speech, just write what you would say.
