1. Section Summary
A. Individual Reading Summaries: Begin by recounting the main points or themes and define any key terms in EACH of the readings/videos for that section. Each summary should be a few sentences up to two short paragraphs. Key terms may be bulleted.
B. Compare and contrast the main points of all the assigned readings/materials: What do they all have in common? How are terms used in one reading applicable to the other readings? Note any important differences between the readings. (An important difference is one where the ideas of the first limit or contradict the ideas of the second.) This section should be one to four paragraphs.
C. Provide an overall summary of the assigned materials. What is the “take-away message” from them as a whole? Summarize, but don’t editorialize; save your opinions for section 2. This section should be one paragraph.
2. Personal Reflection
Here, reflect upon the chapters. This section should be approximately one to two pages total.
A. What thoughts and feelings do you have about the assigned materials? On what are you basing your opinions?
B. What don’t you understand and why? Where are you being challenged to examine your previous beliefs and opinions?
C. What more would you like to know?
Note: a good opinion is one that first shows it properly understands the material, clearly states one’s thoughts and feelings and supports those thoughts and feelings with factual evidence.
For example:
Good opinion: Cardi B is the best musician because she is one of only two artists to have multiple singles on Billboard’s Hot 100.
This opinion has some merit. First, it is a fact that Cardi B has had multiple hit singles on Billboard (this fact is easily proven by going to the Billboard website), so the premise upon which it is based is solid. Second, many would consider ranking on Billboard as a good indicator of musical success, so it likely that the author has some clue as to what makes for a good musician.
3. Multi-media/Cultural Artifact Application
Beyond critically reflecting on the readings, it is important to see how what we are reading and discussing in class relates to the everyday world of U.S. society. In order to make these connections, you are to examine popular culture in such sources as newspapers, magazines, movies, TV shows, music videos and lyrics, CD covers, others’ blogs, photographs, memes, artwork—any and all elements from popular culture and/or the mass media. These things are called cultural artifacts. I believe that many of you will already know some songs, videos, blogs, etc. that connect to the assigned materials.
A. Select a cultural artifact that connects to the week’s assigned materials.
Briefly but adequately describe the cultural artifact you’ve chosen to apply to the assigned readings. Scan, copy or download and attach/embed or provide a link to the media article, as best available. Where known, state the artist or creator, date of creation, and any important facts about the artifact.
B. Relate the cultural artifact to the topics and materials discussed in the readings. BE SPECIFIC! Answer as many of the following questions are relevant: How does it support or contradict the readings? What does this artifact mean in light of the readings? Does it work to maintain or challenge dominant ideas about race, class, gender or sexuality? How has this cultural artifact contributed to your understanding of the concepts from the readings? How has your understanding of the readings and course concepts contributed to your understanding of this piece of media? (note, you need not answer each of these questions–they are just to guide your thinking).
Some of the readings have specific page numbers:
-Unit I: An Introduction to Women, Gender, Sexuality Studies: Grounding: Theoretical Frameworks and Concepts–IWGSS, pp. 2-32
-Unit V: Historical and Contemporary Feminist Social Movements Intro to Women’s & Gender Studies — IWGSS, pp.105-125
-Pathways_State of the Union_2018.pdf
Above is the entire report which is 30 graphics-heavy pages, but you only need to read these Four sections: Earnings, p. 20; Poverty, p. 23; Social Networks, p. 42; Policy, p.45 which correspond to economic, social and political forms of power.
