Large group share-out (20 mins):  Matt notes down ideas on the whiteboard. Share out in the large group.  Everyone take notes on ideas that others had to answer the question. Matt writes the ideas on the projector for students to write down in their notes section, under "Evaluation #1 Brainstorm" Write down ideas that you find helpful in writing your own essay.

Brainstorm notes:
Question #1:  Conditioning leads to
--More happiness
--More efficiency
--More stability for Controllers
Question #2:  One of the 4 world events--how is it related to an idea or a feature of BNW?  Make sure you have a quote
Question #3:  The proletariat came into being because of the industrial revolution. No factories mean no factory workers, which means no proletariat.  Use a quote from the Declaration of Faith to explain this.
Question #4:  For Rand, the US was the first moral society because it emphasized the individual over society.  This leads to a view of government where the only responsibilities of government are to protect life, free action, and individual property. Explain why you agree or disagree with her view of government.
Question #5:  The boy is disgusted because BNW society conditions its citizens to hate family life.

Study time (rest of class until 10 mins left):  Begin to expand your practice answers to the questions.

Journal (10 mins):  "Did you meet the learning target today?  Why?  What do you know that makes you prepared to take the evaluation Tomorrow?  Be specific.  One paragraph minimum."
