05.09 - Buffy and Gender Characteristics

We started class today with the unit 3 roots and prefixes quiz. Everyone had 20 minutes to complete the quiz. After the quiz, we reviewed and discussed quiz answers.

Next, we returned to the "Prophecy Girl" episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and finished watching the last ten minutes of the episode while taking notes on the gender characteristics sheet. If you would like to re-watch this episode, set up a time with Mr. Collins after school or check it out on Netflix streaming (Season 01, Episode 12: Prophecy Girl).

We then discussed some of the gender characteristics that people had notice Buffy exhibiting in the episode. Then, everyone had the next fifteen minutes to respond to the response questions for these notes (see handouts below).

In the last five minutes of class, I returned some graded assignments. Among these was the "Typical People" assignment from our class on Tuesday, April 29. Feedback for this assignment is included below.
