Whoo hoo!
Hey, while we're at it, let's lay out the rest of the week's schedule for the organized and the curious.
Wednesday: review the released material for the timed write and discuss the Denby questions.
Thursday: Dive head first into primary text analysis of pop culture by viewing Mean Girls.
Friday: Finish viewing Mean Girls and, if there is time, hold a short discussion on the film's relationship to the teen movie observations made in Denby's article. There will be an analytical blog post due over the weekend.
