Tough class last time, right? Ok, we need to re-boot. Sit down, grab a doughnut and something to drink, on the house. Let's get things back on track and I certainly want to here what you have to say.

3.3.09 - Today's class assignment and work

How about that assembly yesterday? Did Olga leave an impression on you? This lesson is intended to give you some more of what Olga was saying, and it's also an opportunity to compare images of women in historical advertisements with those of today.

Let's start.

1. Watch this clip:

http://www.mediaed.org/cgi-bin/commerce.cgi?preadd=action&key=206
2. Then, working in small groups, research images of women in advertising, both historically and currently. Each group should attend to the following questions:

What roles do woman playing in the ads?
What can one conclude about the daily lives of woman in the ads?
What can one conclude about the state of mind of women in the ads?
What can one conclude about society’s views of women from the ads?
What can one conclude about the value placed on women from the ads?
Have society’s values and views about women changed much over the years?
What other questions can be raised about the images of women in advertising?
Have students keep careful notes of their observations and discussions.

3. When the research is complete, post your answers as a comment and come back to discuss your findings. What conclusions can you draw from your research? What does contemporary pop culture, as expressed in advertisements, have to say about women? What other examples can you give? (e.g., from music, movies, television, etc.)

Links to videos of Empire State Building Run-Up

As stated in the MPH IceBox, here are two fun videos that show me during the Empire State Run-Up. I am in the White Visor (though not really an important item to wear in the stairwell, I always wear a hat or a visor when running...) YOu may have to paste them in the browser as the links don't always work.
