Wednesday: FOA and Thematic HMT Work

Paris and Stephanie presented on how context of production effects the presentation of a work by comparing three cinematic versions of Romeo and Juliet- focused on the sex scene.

Then we had a lock-down drill…

After, we broke into thematic teams to dig into the text.  The note cards helped to create the teams for this activity.  Each team is asked to consider and discuss the idea, and then create an information sheet related to the theme to share with the class.  Each team will also present a 2-3 minute overview of the information on Friday.

The Teams:

• 1- Although society appears to make residents powerless, people find subtle ways to empower themselves and exert power over others.
• 2- The needs of the majority take precedence over the needs of the individual.
• 3- Language is powerful, dangerous, and even illicit, especially for women.
• 4- All relationships are difficult, even when the Gilead society has attempted to remove every aspect of intimacy from them.

HW: Continue to work on the vocabulary assignment.

HW: Continue to work on the SG- Quiz on Monday.
