Unit Two, Day 22 - Wednesday, October 11

What we'll do today in class:

Connection to course goals: The first activity asks students to use the type of evidence that they'll have to use to meet the context for Essay 3. It also encourages them to look closely to find more subtle messages and evidence from the show, another requirement of the context. The analysis of Bennett will carry over to Friday and will help students understand the distinction between the two modes of analysis, as well as how context and audience affect our choices in writing a cultural analysis.
