Assignment for Sept 24th

Hello Everyone,

Thank you to Maya for setting this up.

I'm sorry I missed class yesterday and hope you all enjoyed a surprise hour of free time.

For next Monday's written assignment:

Imagine that you are writing an exam for this last section "Women, Men and the Rest of Us" and do the following:
1) list two vocabulary terms that you believe essential to this section and give a brief definition of the term;
2) write a brief description of a key concept used/explored by any of the authors of this section;
3) write an essay question that would require/allow the test taker to use three different texts to answer the question. (You don't have to answer this question you just have to design it. A good essay question is not a question that has a yes or no answer but instead provides a prompt that allows the writer to show how they have been thinking about the topics in class and how they have been making sense of the readings.)

Please email these assignments to me by Monday morning Sept 24th. Put "WMST 71 Sept 24th test assignment" in the header. I will compile a subset of your vocabularies, concepts, and questions into one document and hand it out to you as a study aid for the reading exam that follows after our next section "World and the Body".

Thank you all for your hard work and participation in these first weeks of class.
Rebekah
