//Today, you will begin to learn how to create a prezi. This program can be found at [|www.prezi.com]. Makes sense, no? You should create your own account for this. I would like this to be a new platform for our presentations and / or project work.//

//This is what prezi can do. (view as a class)//

//Divide yourselves into 6 groups. Only one person in each group will need to have prezi open. This person must submit her/his login and password to Ms. MacDonald by end of class (in case you are not here on presentation day...feel free to change it afterward). All other members should have laptops in order to help with the research.//

//Discuss the following questions in your groups (each group with a question). In your group, create your own prezi that outlines your **discussion** (I bold that because I want you to discuss). Please include the following://

//* The question you were given// //* **At least three** major points you **discussed**.// //* A leading question that you feel helps to broaden the discussion (ie. ...but have modern media changed the definition of manhood? Is Twilight manly?)// //* A minimum (2-3) pictures that help develop your ideas.// //* A video (Youtube, Vimeo, etc) that helps develop your idea.// //All issues and skills associated with prezi are easily found online in video or text. Feel free to ask a classmate if they have mastered a task you want to learn.// //You will be given a total of one hour of classtime (30 minutes x 2) to work on this. The rest is up to you. Due for discussion on Friday.//

//1. How do you define man/womanhood// //2. What does it take to become a man/woman// //3. How does society define man/womanhood? Does the definition// //vary by the colour of one’s skin? Explain// //4. Does society have its definitions right? How have these evoloved over the years? Explain.// //5. What would you like to see changed in the way society regard// //manhood and womanhood?// //6. Is it important that society has defined roles of manhood and womanhood? Has the level of importance changed over time?// //Changes for this section: Plotline begins to deal with more 'adult' issues and approaches them from that level. Aunt Alexandra's appearance displays the growing gender gap between Scout and Jem.//
