A useful resource for an introduction to Science Fiction and key terms.
In addition to definitions taken from a cinema subject I completed at university, there are a series of viewing activities (trailers for various films which illustrate the key features of these subgenres of science-fiction.) Most of these slides also come with questions designed to get students to think about our focus: TECHNOLOGY and the role of technology in these imagined worlds. These questions challenge students to consider how filmmakers position and influence their viewers regarding the discourse of technology in texts and whether these representations work to naturalise, reinforce or challenge prevailing beliefs and attitudes about the role of technology in society.
