Question The Educational Value of BSG'03?!

Something else you may or may not have noticed on the Sci-fi website for the new mini-series is a link to a site for an 'educational' program linked to the so-called 're-imagining', based on using 'war as a narrative device', it contains a lesson plan for high school English & writing teachers and details of a 22 minute documentary entitled "Battlestar Galactica War Stories"

Topics which could be explored include -

Propaganda techniques as a way to strengthen media literacy skills
Ethical dilemmas of war reflected in literature
Character and story development
Recognizing and creating satire
Film critique

Transmission dates & more info can be found at -
http://www.scifi.com/battlestar/cabl...oom/index.html

Sounds like a good idea in theory, but the subject matter???????

Seems like Skiffy has read the Moore script too closely. Trying to be everything to everybody. First, the champion for the common folk, in the lawsuit against NASA. Now, they want to become involved in educating our youngsters. What's next, weight-loss plans and hair restoration techniques (after pulling it out from watching the mini, no less) ??

Let them stick to what they're best at -- driving a network into the ground!

Thanks for the info, Ian!!

Take care,

BST

All I can think about is that those highschoolers can't do any worse for "Character Development" that Ronnie baby. And the Recognition and use of satire...OH my gosh....As Charlie Brown once asked "Don't you know a sacrasm when you hear it?" Where's the popcorn, Mr. Moore???
