    The Hunger Games: An Indictment of Reality Television An ELA Performance Task The Hunger Games and Reality Television Introductory Classroom Activity (30 minutes) Have students sit in small groups of about 4-5 people. Each group should have someone to record their discussion and someone who will report out orally for the group. Present on a projector the video clip drawing comparisons between The Hunger Games and shows currently on Reality TV: (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wdmOwt77D2g) After watching the video clip, ask each group recorder to create two columns on a piece of paper. In one column, the group will list recent or current reality television shows that have similarities to the way reality television is portrayed in The Hunger Games. In the second column, list or explain some of those similarities. To clarify this assignment, ask the following two questions: 1. What are the rules that have been set up for The Hunger Games, particularly those that are intended to appeal to the television audience? 2. Are there any shows currently or recently on television that use similar rules or elements to draw a larger audience? Allow about 5 to 10 minutes for students to work in their small groups to complete their lists. Have students report out on their group work, starting with question #1. Repeat the report out process with question #2. Discuss as a large group the following questions: 1. The narrator in the video clip suggests that entertainments like The Hunger Games “desensitize us” to violence. How true do you think this is? 2.

  • Ccu's New President
    STUDENT CENTER UPDATE CCU2THEWORLD ALUMNI STORIES FALL 2016 CCU’S NEW PRESIDENT: DR. DON SWEETING Feature Story (Page 10) ccu.edu/alumni LETTER FROM THE VICE PRESIDENT | Fall 2016 Dear Friends, The past year has been a whirlwind of emotions. We grieved, as a community, the loss of our great leader, President Bill Armstrong. And, on October 1st, we welcomed a new president at the helm of our beloved university. As always, it is our goal to keep you informed about and also proud to be associated with Colorado Christian University. In this edition of BEYOND, you will see some of the ways CCU is engaging with the broader community through public policy and political science; some of the wonderful events and various programs going on; and you’ll learn about the man whom the board of trustees unanimously voted to be our next president. As we move forward into a new era at CCU, we do so trusting always in the grace and sovereignty of our Lord Jesus Christ. We are excited to introduce you to CCU’s new president, Dr. Donald Sweeting. You can read more about him on page 10, but I’d like to share with you my perspective on the man God has appointed to this position. After a decade under the guidance and leadership of President Bill Armstrong, this University needs a president who stands boldly for the convictions and values that CCU holds. Dr. Sweeting does just that. And, having served on CCU’s board of trustees for 11 years, Dr. Don Sweeting has an inside understanding of the University’s Statement of Faith, Strategic Objectives, mission and vision statements, and our pursuit to become a great university.

  • Pressbook “God's Not Dead 2”
    PRESSBOOK “GOD’S NOT DEAD 2” Quanto sei disposto a rischiare per difendere quello in cui credi? PREMESSA Secondo quale criterio si stabilisce quali argomenti possano essere affrontati pubblicamente e quali debbano invece essere discussi in forma esclusivamente privata? In cosa consistono la libertà di espressione e di parola? Fino a che punto il diritto a difendere i propri valori non invade la sfera di libertà altrui? Quando i fatti storici cessano di essere tali a causa dell’orientamento ideologico di un’élite e si resta soli a sostenere quello che si ritiene essere una verità oggettiva, fino a che punto si è disposti a difendere il proprio pensiero, anche a costo di compromettere la propria vita privata e professionale? E’ questo incipit di GOD’S NOT DEAD 2, il nuovo legal thriller distribuito da Dominus Production, al cinema dal 2 Marzo 2017. GOD’S NOT DEAD 2, ambientato in una corte di giustizia statunitense, è ispirato ad una causa legale reale e affronta il delicato tema della difesa del diritto alla libertà di espressione e di opinione, mostrando un quadro di insidiosa discriminazione ideologica subita dai cristiani nella società contemporanea. Il film evidenzia, inoltre, il pericolo di ideologizzazione dei canali comunicazione con la conseguente deformazione non solo delle informazioni ma anche degli accadimenti storici. Missione del film è invitare lo spettatore ad interrogarsi sui grandi valori dell’esistenza, arrivando a domandarci: quanto siamo disposti a rischiare per difendere ciò in cui crediamo? La storicità di Gesù Cristo – illustrata da Grace Wesley agli alunni della sua classe di liceo – diventa argomento centrale della causa legale che vede la docente, cristiana, accusata di aver violato la separazione fra Stato e Chiesa.
