Math Update

Time to Refocus
We'll be passing back your letters to self to discover what you had for goals.

Circle
What do you need to get better at?

Matrix Matrix
We will develop a chart connecting elements of the Allegory of the Cave with "The Matrix" and how both connect to our lives.

Understanding How Details Help to Develop Theme
"The Matrix" has four themes:  A) We live in a world of shadows because it is easier and more convenient than facing the truth. B) We have far more choices in our life than we realize but most people just accept what happens to them. C) Machines and computers threaten to control us. D) It is possible to do anything when the mind believes it is possible.

Dual Circle:
We'll set up to concentric circles.  The inner circle will discuss noticed details from "The Matrix" with the goal of understanding how the details connect to one of the four given themes.

Presentations:
Create a visual essay that explains how one of the themes is developed in the Matrix using specific details, symbols, dialogue, etc.

Homework:
Write a paragraph explaining how a detail from the Matrix develops one of the themes.
