New Site

We're making a change to the way that we release work for our classes. The main lessons (the things that we'll do in class each day) will now be found at the site "Optimal Beneficial Moreover Detrimental: Classroom." We're keeping this site, with a slightly different name, in order to release a reading a day for students to practice their reading at home. Each post will contain a link to a reading, along with a list of assignments that can be completed for that reading.

17.4. "It's a Good Life" from The Twilight Zone

We're going to watch this great old television episode in class.

For our assignment, we will consider the quotation:

"Power corrupts, and and absolute power corrupts absolutely."



  • What does this mean?
  • Do you agree with the message?
  • What examples from the world (things that you learned in Social Studies, Science, or by reading informational articles or watching the news) can you use to prove/disprove it?
  • What examples from your own personal life (your autobiography, the life experiences of your friends, family, and acquaintances) can you use to prove/disprove it?
  • What examples from stories (movies, books, short stories, television episodes) can you use to prove/disprove it?
