This week's class was pretty short. Maggy was ill so she let us out early. We presented our group projects and they were very informative. Each group had a particular racial or ethnic group that they were assigned. We then researched how each group is portrayed in the media. Not surprising, but many stereotypes were discovered and discussed.
Our group discussed African-Americans and we presented data from the American Slavery Era, Civil Rights Era, and the present day... We had a lot of fun with our presentation and it seemed to be well received.
It's almost time for our final projects to come due and I think I'm going to try and start on mine sometime next week. I'm going to watch "The Producers" and discuss its messages on race, gender, and class. Thanksgiving approaches and we are on break next week. It's hard to believe that this semester is about to conclude. It honestly feels like we just started. Happy Thanksgiving my friends!
