After our discussions about the articles you've read over the last few days, today we will start the film, The Hunting Ground (the film is available to rent at the link).
For your last portfolio entry, please respond to the topic of sexual assault. Use specifics from the articles and films to support your response. Consider any or all of the following questions in your response (you are not limited to these questions-if there are other issues you've been considering about this topic, feel free to address those): What is your review or assessment of The Hunting Ground? What, if anything, does the film prompt you to do? The film received a 93% positive rating at rottentomatoes.com. Here are a few of those positive reviews and one critique of the film. What are your reactions after reading them? Tribune Review, NY Times Review, Slate Review. What information that you learned over the last few days is most surprising and why? Does a "rape culture" exist? If so, what is its impact? What kind of responsibility do colleges have to address the issue of sexual assault on their campuses? Why don't they seem to take it more seriously? What should sexual assault awareness programs address? Why? What is the role of bystanders? What other issues that were raised in the articles that you read are most important to you? Why?
Your entire portfolio must be submitted to turnitin.com by class time on Monday, Feb. 29. Here is the link to the checklist of entries that should be included as well as the rubric that I'll be using to assess your work: Portfolio Rubric.
Don't forget, you need to read and annotate your mock trial packet by Monday as well so organize your time accordingly.
