March 18

Below is the writing activity we will do in class. I will collect this and count it as participation points for last Thursday (our movie day). If you cannot attend class today but wish to earn participation points for Thursday, please email me your response to one of the questions. 

In addition to Coraline, we will discuss Boy Meets Boy pages 1-43 and Chapter 11 of Hintz and Tribunella in class today. 

Please answer one of the following questions about Coraline. Feel free to reference Hintz and Tribunella in your response.

1.  Do you think Coraline counts as a fairy tale? Why or why not?

2.  In what ways does Coraline adhere to traditional gender norms? In what ways does she subvert them?
