Objective:  I can participate in a discussion of The Awakening and A Doll's House in a group that represents the lenses of New Historicism, Gender/Power/Marginalization, and Feminism to consider the works from multiple perspectives.
Agenda:

• This conversation should be driven by your lenses, but it should also be an extension of our Socratic Seminar--what points continue to come up that are significant to you?
• Use this time to add to your lens questions (due Monday)
• Exit Task:  Finish your My Essential Literature for The Awakening and turn in.
• Optional Assignment:  Complete the OPTICAL assignment for Andrea Kowch's The Cape as seen below.  You will also need to reference these archetypes to help you.  This prezi illuminates the symbol of birds.  This assignment is worth 25 optional assessment points--consider it like a test--it is worth the same amount as an essay and an excellent opportunity to delve deeper into The Awakening and A Doll's House.  It must be completed before we write next Tuesday.  Only do this if you are really invested--points will not be given freely--you need to show thought and processing in your answers.
