Michael Sam and his coming out. What do we think about it?
What does the league say?
Things to read and journal about for next week
Femininity: Who are our heroines?
Week 5 folder: Excerpts from Bolen’s Goddesses in Every Woman and Wood’s Gendered Lives (on feminine stereotypes in the workplace
Journal 4: Think of a real woman or a female character who real holds power. Is she favorably perceived in our culture? Why or why not? Does she conform to one of the goddess archetypes or to one of the stereotypes in the Wood reading?
ALSO
Watch Streetcar Named Desire and Casablanca.
Identify the gods and goddesses within for discussion on March 4
Your group will also present in front of the class a short presentation about your god or goddess based on both of those movies. Who is revealed and how do you pick it apart based on the narrative schemes we have talk about.
Make it multi-media and fun (music, photos, dance, poetry, spoken word, powerpoint, prezi etc.)
