Hello grade 12s! Welcome to your new home! As we discussed in class, you will be responsible for contributing to our class blog throughout the Media Studies unit. Our class blog will focus on the gender studies issues. Just a few quick reminders:
- You have to manage your own blog string:
- this includes the creation of a catchy title (Like "Ghostbusters"), first post that relates to the media unit, and regular replies that spark more discussion.
- You also have to reply to your classmates' blog string:
- You must reply to a minimum of 5 different blog strings, AND offer a minimum of 10 comments overall that are meaningful and relate to the media texts/concepts.
- Your post should explicitly deal with concepts and texts we are learning about in our media unit. Some topics to consider are: representations of females/males/homosexuals/heterosexuals in the media, the nature of dynamics between men and women (or men and men, women and women), the power distribution among men and women, and the dominant discourse regarding gender identity in the media.
Keep comments respectful and critical. It's okay to politely disagree, but it's not okay to attack someone personally for their opinion! Have fun and good luck!
According to Burt Bacharach, a home is a place where theres someone to hold you tight and someone you can kiss goodnight- will you be willing to do both those things for us then?

ReplyDeleteLol can you imagine your teacher kissing you goodnight? Unless they were your parent. I don't think Ms. Draper would go so far as to kiss us.
ReplyDeleteSorry guys. As much as I love you all, I'm fairly certain I would lose my job if I kissed you goodnight.
