G2/G3 - Quiz: Chapters 22-28. After the quiz, students were asked to write a half-page journal about being "the Center of Attention." After sharing some of their responses, we went over the review sheet for Chapters 26-28. Students had time to read for the remainder of the block. Assignment: Finish the book and the last review sheet.
G4 - Double-Entry assignment for "Too 'Close to the Bone'..." DUE today. I checked and returned DEN’s while students discussed the article in their groups. We discussed the article for quite a bit, then I shared a short video of images related to the historical “ideal” body types for women. We then moved into some additional practice with “The Method” and “Notice and Focus” using related music videos. Students were then assigned a Venn Diagram for practice with two of the videos they have seen. That was all we had time for today. Assignment: Choose two of the videos (as a group) and lay out a Venn Diagram (individually) of the similarities and differences between them. This is the first step toward the Comparative Critique paper, so be sure to include as much detail as you can at this point. Be prepared to show that to me in class on Friday.
