3/19 Back from Break!

1: Missing a lot of people from first hour.   Complete the 5-6 Study Guide.  Make sure you read!  If you answer the questions without reading, I can tell.

2: Started talking about Feminism today.

You had some interesting interpretations of this poem! 

• It says she and he. I think it means that a woman can't really be a woman without a man behind her.  Like th man makes the woman, who she is and she's nothing without him.
• Women surround males: the men in society may be unaware of this and women's influence.
• It has three letters and two words, the only ones that make sense are "she" and "he."
• It means love because it spells out she and he and the S connects both of them.
• Females rule males because the "he is encompassed by the "she."  Therefore, women are rulers of men, apparently.
• She.  Female.  Perhaps a representation of feminism...?
• He is smaller than she.
• She is thinking of him and he is thinking of her.
• It means that inorder to have women you need men. She has the word he insdie, showing tha they're somewhat equal.
• Tranvestites are on the run.  (I didn't understand this interpretation at first, but it totally makes sense).

I would like you to work on reading The Yellow Wallpaper and writing traditional statements... then rewriting them into feminist statements.  We will have tomorrow to do and talk about this.

3: What commentary about young men and violence is made by Skud?  Create a multimedia poster with a quadrant illustrating the problems and final outcome for each character (you can divide the tagboard however you'd like).

• Shane
• Andy
• Tommy
• Brad

1. Be sure to include at least one quote from the book for each section. 
2. Show character development!  How does each character change throughout the course of the novel (both in terms of their situation, and maturity/mental growth). 
3. The poster should be visually appealing-- I want it to look like something you worked on, not something you slapped together at the last minute.  Include words AND images, drawing AND magazine cutouts, blocks of color, textures, etc.
4. You need to be able to explain how you picked all of the images. I will require you to present it to the class.
