Joëlle, Lynne, Lydia

__Task 1__ Ask students what they know about brain function. Research the topic and summarize and post their findings on the wiki. Students read other team members' comments, compare and add comments.

The teacher explains that humans use less than 20% of their brain and asks the students how they think we can improve brain function. Students must answer on the wiki.

__Task 2__ Have the students watch [|Limitless Trailer] Have the students make a list of the pros and cons of taking the pill that gives access to 100% of mental capacities.

__Task 3__ Group the students in teams of four and have them discuss the following questions:

Do you think that being too intelligent would have effects (negative or positive) on your social life? Do you think that this pill could make you greedy and/or insensitive? Considering the fact that many people will want the magic pill and it is hard to get, do you think it could put you in danger? Do you think that you could change something in the world? If so, what would you change?

__Task 4__ Ask the students: if you had access to the magic pill, would you take it? Why? Have them explain their point of view in a minimum of 10 complete and thoughtful sentences and have them post it on the wiki.
