Sorry for frustrating many of you yesterday, but I like to make you think outside your comfort zone. Remember, I'm never asking you to stand for something you do not believe in. However, I am asking you to recognize the ideas that you do not believe in as a reality for some people.
Agenda:
-Lets have a quick discussion of the activity from yesterday. Why does the topic of gender roles frustrate people? Without reading far into the Gilman's piece, was she wrong to create a utopia that was clearly offensive to some?
-Independently, you will read an assigned section of "Love and Economics" by Cynthia J. Davis. It focuses on why women depended on men during the time period we have been discussing. It analyzes Gilman's piece Women and Economics in comparison to Gilman's own life.
-As you read, you will annotate your section. Please underline, circle, write notes, etc. After you read your assigned section of the essay, you will write a one paragraph summary of the main points the author is addressing. PLEASE DO NOT WRITE MORE THAN ONE PARAGRAPH, this is an exercise in summarizing an analytical essay concisely (Reading 25-30 minutes, paragraph 10-15 minutes).
-As you read and write your summary I will be coming around to get an update on your multi-genre project.
HOMEWORK:
-Finish your summary of "Love and Economics"(if you did not finish in class)
-Read Chapter 3 in Herland
-Work on multi-genre projects
-Work on multi-genre projects
