Take notes on your response and assessment using her theoretical language. • Then for those of you willing to take your education even further: • Come to class on Tuesday, March 18 prepared with video clips (five minutes max) from one of the films Ingraham lists on p. 171. Select either a powerful “affective” moment (p. 172) of the film, or a scene that illustrates the argument Ingraham makes about the film. Others of you could bring additional “ideological devices,” “ heterogendered ideological messages” found in the mass media…(clips from shows like “Grey’s Anatomy. ”). •  bring the file, find the scene on youtube, etc…
