Crtical Theory and 'What's up with Cindy?'

Hello 12s,

In addition to working with your poems (analyzing,tone mapping and memorizing) Please see to the following:

• Review the handout on Critical Theory
• Consider the ways that gender is presented in Cinderella. Carrying on from last day consider how the prince, and how are princes as a fairy tale entity, are almost always presented. Consider looks, expectations, behaviours, as well as what they are not expected to do or to be.

We will continue our study of modes of analysis (critical theory) over the next while and look at Cinderella  in particular next class.

While this can be engaging work as a sort of a puzzle or a game, please consider that critical theory is really about seeing the world from various points of view. The ramifications of being able to do that could, done well, change the way our world functions.

Warmly,
Ms.S
