English and Cyber Year 10
ENGCYB1 Course DescriptionBig question: How How could technology shape our future?
This course will explore science fiction, dystopian, and future-focused texts. Tech has made us more connected and made our lives more efficient and convenient… But are we in too deep? If you enjoy thinking critically about what this means for us and how we are becoming increasingly tangled with technology, this is an ideal course for you. We will chiefly explore film and short texts, so this is a great course if you’re a visual learner who likes variety in what they learn.
