Chuppa-Cornell's "When Fact Is Stranger than Fiction: Hair in American Girl Stories and Dolls"Today at the beginning of class instead of taking a quiz, I asked you to break into small groups to work on a list of discussion questions related to your reading for the day. You can access that document HERE. We then worked through the questions as a class and talked about our responses to Chuppa-Cornell's article. Next, I handed our another article by Jan Susina comparing American Girl Dolls to Barbie Dolls. You can access that document HERE. I asked you to work in pairs to read and summarize a few paragraphs of the article; groups then presented their section to the class. Finally, we used the remaining time in class to return to your responses to Meet Addy that you worked on during class on Tuesday.
Final Paper
At the end of class I talked a bit about your final paper and individual conferences. You can access the final paper instructional guide HERE and the individual conference schedule HERE.
