Students Experience Science Fiction during Quest Time

Submitted by tiffanie.miley on

“Science Fiction Club is a place for students who have an interest in science fiction to come and share their interests with others,” said Mr. Sam Dahl, science teacher at Springville Junior High School. That’s right, there is a sci-fi Quest Time activity!

The sci-fi class is held every Tuesday during Quest Time in Mr. Dahl’s class room- upstairs in room number 73. In the sci-fi class, students watch sci-fi movies like ‘Contact,’  read science fiction stories, listen to old radio broadcasts like ‘War of the Worlds,’ and even write their own science fiction stories.

“Science fiction is an excellent avenue for presenting ideas, concerns, fears, or hopes for what things can be like in the future as a result of technology. It is a fun way of discussing the issues around us,” Mr. Dahl said. “Science fiction helps students look at possibilities for the future.”

After finishing a science fiction movie, students discuss the ideas and morals of the movie. According to Mr. Dahl, there is usually a deeper meaning behind sci-fi movies and literature.

Students enjoy sci-fi class during Quest Time. SJHS student Tyler Bartholomew would recommend it to other students because it is “entertaining, fun, and awesome.”

Mr. Dahl said, “I really enjoy science fiction; it is a hobby of mine. I think students who attend really have a good time as well.”
