Summary:
When we walked into Ms. Matthews class we had to pick up some hand outs. We then took our seats and started copying down the symbols chart that was on the board. We then went over how and why the Mary Jane candies, the Shirley Temple cup, and the torn couch were symbols in the book. We then had to come up with two of our own symbols and we had to explain them. We moved on to the blog and I was obviously chosen to do it tonight (after weeks of avoiding it). We started to read Bluest Eye and answer the study questions. We also numbered the chapters in the spring section. Ms. Matthews told us to put all of our Bluest Eye stuff away and to get out our ads. We looked at some sample ad analysis essays and looked at the structure of the paragraphs. After that we did a scavenger hunt with our partners to look at some ads and put them into categories of which persuasive techniques were used in the ads. some of the persuasive techniques were dehumanized: dismembered, dehumanized: objectified, and celebrity. We then packed up and went to Ms. Cho's class.
