must include the following 2 components: analysis/engagement with the reading + a relevant media artifact
1) Analysis/Engagement with the reading: comment on, analyze or offer a balanced critique of the reading for that week found in the course reader. Here, you must demonstrate that you have done the reading and thought about it. You may choose to write on one article or more than one.
2) MEDIA: describe and analyze a media artifact(s) (film, television, magazines, newspapers, internet, youtube etc) outside of class screenings. Comment on the ways gender is portrayed and constructed in/by them. Comment on whatever you find interesting, engaging, hopeful, etc. about gender relations in contemporary media culture.
Grades for the post will be based on a 10-point scale (9.5-10 being the highest grade), assessing the completeness of your discussion and analysis (approximately 1-2 pages) and your comprehension and grappling of class readings/discussions/content.
