What new experiences have you had during summer break?

Slide 17 - Open question

Blog Experiences
This text is a good example of the blog as short effective anecdote. It is a mini-short story, with a point. 
Take a look at how it is structured, brief paragraphs, (one to each stage in the story), and how it is expressed (informal and colloquial language, sounding like someone telling a take orally). 
Write two paragraphs of a similar blog, dealing with an experience that is disagreeable but instructive - or instructive but disagreeable, as you prefer! It can be a real personal experience of their own, or (more easily) an imagined story of themselves in an unpleasant situation.

Slide 18 - Slide

Sharing???
- implies 'cooperating', as in 'sharing things out fairly'? or...
- 'competing', as in 'fighting for scarce resources'?
- is 'sharing' essentially morally driven - or is it practically driven?
- do human beings like sharing? Evidence, for and against?

Slide 19 - Slide

The planet???
do we view 'the planet' principally as an ecosystem? or...
as a social system? or...
as an economic system? or...
as a political system? or...
all of these, mixed up? - in which case, how do all of the elements interact?

Slide 23 - Mind map

IB Theme: Human Ingenuity
The area of 'Human ingenuity' is pretty vast. The most obvious and common interpretation is 'technological cleverness', but arguably you can be ingenious in practically any area - poetry, in politics, even in giving a neat excuse for being horribly late for a date.

Slide 24 - Slide

Sci-tech ingenuity
As suggested, 'technological cleverness' is the most obvious interpretation of 'human ingenuity', think about examples of ingenuity which have changed the world in some way: clever solutions which have dramatic, far-reaching consequences

Slide 25 - Slide

What examples of ingenuity have changed the world?

Communication & media
In a way, all language is an ongoing opportunity for ingenuity - how can you phrase things in such a way as to communicate a message most effectively and efficiently? Furthermore, the media in the 21stC are embodied in fantastically ingenious hardware and software ... to say nothing of the ingenuity involved in the constantly-varying messages presented.

Slide 28 - Slide

Social media is an example of human ingenuity. Do you think it has changed the world in a positive or negative way?

Slide 29 - Open question

Ingenious explanation
If we want to study ingenuity in language, we should consider the two prime modes by which complex ideas can be communicated: (i) methodical sequencing of ideas; and (ii) the use of figures of speech to make abstractions more vivid ... which is rhetoric, actually.

Slide 30 - Slide

How are these texts examples of human ingenuity, specifically ingenious explanation?

Slide 31 - Open question

Witty ingenuity
The difference between explanation and wit is that ingenious explanation is defined by the clarity of the message, of what is expressed, whereas ingenious wit is defined by the playfulness of the message, of how it is expressed. Ingenious explanation is useful ... ingenious wit is fun! And the most ingenious is when usefulness and playfulness overlap...
