**NOTE, you MUST scroll all the way down! There are four things I want you to do tonight!**
====1. //JOURNAL #14//  Imitating Denby’s style (indicate at the top of the page), write an analysis of a teen-movie (or sitcom) character who seems to go beyond the genre of teen movies as Denby defines it. Does that character’s uniqueness challenge or support Denby’s theories about why “geeks rule” in teen movies? ====

====2. LOC p. 703 # 1-5. Write the sentence as it is in the book. Make your additions in a colorful marker, pen, etc. ====

====3. In my graduate class, I was asked to view the following clips and share my views about the information provided. As I teared up (literally) constructing my response, I realized that these clips would be much more beneficial if those involved directly had the opportunity to share their view. So, here are the clips. I am not going to monopolize your response with specific requests, but as honestly and as brutally as you can, respond to these clips in the discussion area of this page. Then, respond to a classmate. What can we do to ensure that these 2 million minutes are actually worth something? How can we ensure that we do not have // A Right Denied? //====

==== 4. I am still grading Essay 7. In the meantime, peruse this document about conducting a rhetorical analysis. In the discussion area, determine if this framework is useful. What do you do similarly? differently? What can you begin to do that will ensure you have better success on such assignments? ==== media type="custom" key="12192808"
