Just a few more weeks

My goal for this upcoming week is to finish my video on femalestereotypes, which I am going to use in my presentation. It will contain pictures of celebrities who either have been stereotyped or represent a female stereotype. Also, facts about stereotyping in literature vs. the media will be presented as well. I want to teach the class about female stereotypes, where they exsit, and why they do as well. I will be briefly discussing the books I have read, Daisy Miller by Henry James, a few snipets of Washington Sqaure, and Breakfast at Tiffanies. Other previous readings that contributed to my research was Macbeth by William Shakespeare. Along with my video, I will explain my 4th quarter project and do a sample activity with the class. I really hope my presentation goes over well.

I will also continue working on my project...

One part down...two more to go

Now I have a few weeks to focus on my project and my presentation. I have started to create an outline for the project...like what items I want to put into my curriculum plan. My goal is to complete everything as soon as possible...so the rest of the year can be a breeze. My presentation is going to be on June 4th - I am gonig to use one of the worksheets my class would do to show the kids what I have been working on. I hope to get the class into a big discussion about women sterotypes and get their views on the subject.

Finally handing it in....

I want to finish the paper by tuesday afternoon because it is due by friday.
I have to complete the final body paragrah and conclusion.
After the paper is due, I want to start finalizing the calendar for my year long curriculum plan for my final project.

A few more weeks left...

This week for class I continued to research women in literature and the media. There are a lot of interesting sources about the portrayal of women. For the research paper, I have begun to formulate my ideas coherently in bullet type statements, which will later be incorporated into my opening and body paragraphs. I want to have a rough draft finished by the weekend. I hope to finish the paper early next week. Also, I continued to read my book – I am half way done – it is very interesting; the character of Daisy Miller seems to be a typical, flirtatious, young woman. I hope to finish this portion of the book by the weekend and begin Washington Square by Henry James. This is a similar story but at the same time it has a much different twist.
