Description

Synopsis:

Robots: What is our shared future? • Pet robots • Interview with a robot • Robot rebellion • Robo-workers • Send robots, not people!

Key Concepts:

Many people believe it is good to have robots that perform repetitive or dangerous jobs. Robots are capable of doing only things that people program them to do. People have different perspectives on the impact of robots and how they should be programmed.

Reading Strategies:

Use combined knowledge of all letter-sound correspondences, syllabication patterns, and morphology (e.g., roots and affixes) to read accurately unfamiliar multisyllabic words in context and out of context.
