PRE-READING ACTIVITY FOR "THERE WILL COME SOFT RAINS" BY RAY BRADBURY






My students are currently reading various short stories. One of them is
Bradbury's "There Will Come Soft Rains."

Before we read it, I have my students brainstorm the benefits of technology.
Next, I prompt them to come up with an invention (that has not been invented
yet) that would make their lives easier. I let them work in groups, then share
their inventions on a post-it note. (One of my artistic students drew the
lightbulb since my drawing skills are lacking.) They usually come up with some
creative responses. Here's one of my favorites:



After reading the story we discuss many of downfalls of technology. Since I
teach at a 1:1 school, we see/experience a lot of these pitfalls on a daily
basis; although, most students would agree: no matter how frustrating technology
can be, they wouldn't want to live without it.

ADDITIONAL LINKS
• If you read this story with your students, you must listen to Leonard Nimoy's
rendition on You Tube. It is fantastic.




• For additional ideas, I wrote a post about Sara Teasdale's poem, "There Will
Come Soft Rains" on my other blog in connection to Earth Day.
