Critical theory: some video help (See prior post too)

Hello 12s,

We have begun to take a look at texts through various critical theory lenses. Last day you received a notes package to help you begin practicing with this method.

Your homework is to review this notes package and to consider these methodologies as they might be used to look at the story of Cinderella. 

We will go over your thoughts re: this next class and begin to see how this method may apply to texts beyond literature. Ultimately we will apply these tools (critical theory lenses) to our reading of William Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew.
