Lesson Outline
Will worked on a writing assignment that asked him to consider the alternative to yesterday's discussion about Dr. Manhattan, the "super human" force that won the war in Vietnam for Nixon. Yesterday, Will was asked to consider the advantages of having someone capable of manipulating space and matter as an ally. Will responded that having someone like Dr. Manhattan as a friend would essentially mean that no other countries would "mess with" the U.S. Today, Will was asked to consider the disadvantages of having Dr. Manhattan as an ally. Will's response was interesting: Mr. Stewart articulated that the cost of "keeping Dr. Manhattan happy" would soon outweigh the benefits. He also indicated that the relationship between the U.S. government and Dr. Manhattan would be one of continuous tension: Dr. M. would be powerful enough to destroy the country if he became displeased with the government; therefore, the relationship would be one of fear, not of mutual cooperation. I was very happy with Will's inductions. We continued by doing more research for his PowerPoint presentation.
