Monday and Wednesday: Media Days: North Country

On Monday, we begin two days of watching the film North Country. It fits our theme, "Individuals vs. Systems," in lots of different ways. Here are some links for more information:

The Wikipedia entry

Some information about sexual harassment

An interview with the lawyers involved in the case

Think about how the film connects to other texts we've examined. Think, also, about how the writers of the film are using some of the same tricks/techinques as did Bob Dylan when he wrote "The Lonesome Ballad of Hattie Carroll" (the song we listened to).

DON'T FORGET TO BRING RD2 TO CLASS ON MONDAY. YOU SHOULD SUBMIT TO ME A FOLDER THAT CONTAINS: RD1, PEER REVIEW NOTES FROM YOUR PARTNER, RD2, YOUR OLD RRs.
