Hello Seniors!

Today we continue our new unit:
Language, Gender, Culture, and Age

Take some time and read and rewrite for 10 minutes.
(QW and Butler Video Clip Q's)
Pick one additional Quickwrite!

Butler Video:
Anxiety, Fear, Panic - "Why would someone be killed for the way they walk?" - Butler
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DLnv322X4tY
Answer the following Q's"

1. Though you may not know any examples as extreme as the one described by Butler, have you seen or heard of similar instances in which gender norms have been enforced through violence or bullying?

2. How does this story deepen your understanding of the relationship between identity, gender, and culture?

Homework:
***Find your OWN piece of text (any genre - bonus credit for academic/scholarly) relating to the topic(s) of Language and/or Gender and/or Culture and/or Age.
This is EXACTLY like our Portfolio assignment.
