The Martian Chronicles

"In our time the search for extraterrestrial life will eventually change our laws, our religions, our philosophies, our arts, our recreations, as well as our sciences. Space, the mirror, waits for life to come look for itself there." - Ray Bradbury

"We've been busy with war instead of being busy with peace. And that's what space travel is all about. It's all about peace and exploration and wonder and beauty.” - Ray Bradbury, 2004
Some Essential Questions:
​

Who are the invaders?
Should we colonize other planets?

​Are these attitudes similar to those of colonizers of different countries and territories today?
How would we behave or adapt to a new planet?
How do humans behave when faced with the unknown?
How do we behave when faced with isolation?

Videos

"The War of the Worlds" 1938 Radio Broadcast

This is one of the most famous radio broadcasts in history.  On October 30, 1938 the radio adaptation of H.G. Welles' "The War of the Worlds" was broadcast as though it were a series of emergency announcements, and caused panic among its listeners.

America in the 1950's

"The Martian Chronicles", along with many of Ray Bradbury's other novels and stories, reflects the culture and society of the United States in the 1950's.  Which aspects of "America" described in this video, do you see reflected in the book? (If this guy speaks too fast, you can slow down the video in the settings at the bottom).
