Tues. Oct. 21, 2014: Issues: Panel Presentation

Today, we began class by getting into gender neutral groups and discussing the assignment from yesterday (what stereotypes were found, evidence, issues).
I modeled this activity with student input. The notes from this activity are inserted below:

Canadian Bacon Notes 

I stressed the following tips:

* When you view a film actively, you get more out of it.

* Notes from a visual, when used in an essay, are almost always paraphrased (from your head!!!!). Even when writing an essay from a text is it better to use quotation strings sparingly!!!!

I then handed out the next major assignment, an adaptation of a panel discussion. We read this actively, correcting and inserting information as needed (it was adapted from the Internet). We did not finish discussing it today; however, a copy of this assignment is pasted below:

The rest of it will be discussed tomorrow.
