Apart from the impulses given in the section above, teachers could be inspired by the following lesson sequences:

 Carrying out a blog project discussing the question “What makes us human?”, including a class blog and individual student blogs (Herbrechter 2019)

 Studying representations of posthumans in visual literature, making use of picture books and graphic novels, and finally having pupils design their own posthumans (Ludwig/Shipley 2019)

 Organizing debates on the pros and cons of certain transcultural technologies, e.g. cryonics

 Planning an intermedial sequence on Ray Kurzweil with the help of his book on singularity, a documentary and a music video (see above)

 Addressing the ethical dilemmas of cloning by reading a novel by Ishiguro and a play by Churchill (Boller/Voigts 2019)

 Focusing the concept of otherness by treating a theatre play, a TV series and a novel (Hoydis 2019)

 Discussing quotations, e.g.▷ It may be that our role on this planet is not to worship God – but to create him. (Arthur C. Clarke)▷ It is a postmodern truth universally acknowledged that today’s parody is tomorrow’s reality. (Csicsery-Ronay)▷ L’existence précède essence. (Jean Paul Sartre)
