Students must analyze representation in a TV drama of their choice and create a Prezi presentation highlighting this representation in one of the following areas: youth, gender, disability, race/ethnicity, religion, class/wealth, crime, age, or sexuality. They must find a 4 minute clip exemplifying their topic, ask a question about representation in the clip, conduct a survey to answer their question, and compare the characters to other representations, answering their question using evidence from the clip, survey, and examples. Presentations will be given after half term in small groups.
