The different steps in this assignment are designed to help you move from a very general first impression of as subject, to an exploration/discovery phase, to the choice of materials you feel are suitable for further study. This preparatory work will help you make an informed decision about what selections to propose for the Unit 2 reading list.
First, skim through all the essays in section 4, "True Woman and Real Men: Myths of Gender," which the class chose for our focus during Unit 2.

This preparatory work will help you make an informed decision about what selections to propose for the Unit 2 reading list.
First, skim through all the essays in section 4, "True Woman and Real Men: Myths of Gender," which the class chose for our focus during Unit 2.
- Choose four selections (other than the "Visual Portfolio").
For each selection: - Quote a brief passage that interests you (and provide the proper in-text parenthetical citation).
- Respond to each quotation, demonstrating your ability to focus on the words the author has written (rather than demonstrating your ability to express your feelings/opinions on the general topic, or to share stories from your personal experience).
- Of the four you chose above, select two that you recommend the class read. Write a single paragraph (about 200 words), explaining why the class should vote for your selections. Demonstrate your ability to integrate brief quotations.
