Science

• In Ayn Rand’s book, Anthem, Equality 7-2521 came across an interesting artifact, an electric light. Throughout history, many discoveries or inventions were found by accident and would probably have been discarded if someone had not taken the time to THINK about what they saw or what happened. You will choose from the list of “accidental” inventions or discoveries (see #1 below), answer 3 questions about your choice (see #2), then choose a format (see #3 for suggestions) in order to visually present the answers to the questions.

You may choose one of the following formats or create one of your own to display your findings.• Concept web Poster Foldable book PowerPoint Presentation• Prezio Comic Graphic organizer • Presentation strategy of choice (with teacher approval)

Reading

-The novel deals with the issue of the collective versus the individual. Research one country that values the collective and one that values the individual. -Prepare for a 3-5 minute speech based on the details of your research that compares and contrasts these two countries and provide a visual to represent each country.-Include a typed hard copy of the speech in addition to the presentation piece. To complement the oral presentation, you must include some form of visual (power-point, song, video, poster, etc)

Social Studies

Create a city map, a flag, National Anthem and a Bill of Rights (at least 10 rights) from the “old” setting in Anthem. When writing the anthem, it should be set to a tune. You will be expected to creatively present the anthem in class (examples: singing, rapping, reciting, spoken word.) A Display board is to be used to showcase the City map, Flag, Bill of Rights and the Anthem.
