This Track Star Unit has been developed as a means of helping high school students organize an essay and research the role that science and technology play in our own time and from that research and their thinking develop an essay which demonstrates how sciece and technology are advancing much more than our wisdom to use it. The students will use, read, and view media/technology and analyze content and concepts accurately. They will also develop the structural and creative skills necessary to produce written language that can be read and interpreted by various audiences.
