week+1


 * Here's a breakdown of this week's schedule.**

11/04 - 11/10 || **"Anatomy of the Superhero"** You will look at classic examples of superheroes in various formats and discuss the qualities that we see in them. || -Lecturette -DC: The New Frontier Part 1 -"Superheroes" Chapter 3 || # Lecturette Activities For this week, start by familiarizing yourself with the website. Then, go through the lecturette. In the lecturette, you'll be asked to watch a video, read through some blogs, listen to a podcast or two, read __DC: The New Frontier Part 1__, and finally, respond to Discussion Question #1. I've posted the video and all the links you'll need below, but you should be able to access everything directly from the lecturette. After completing all of the activities in the lecturette, you'll also need to read chapter 3 of __Superheroes: The Best of Philosophy and Pop Culture__. It might be a good idea to save your discussion post for last because the readings will probably give you some really good food for thought!

 * **Week 1**
 * 1) Discussion Question #1
 * 2) Post Book Choice ||

Finally, make sure that you post your golden or silver age graphic novel choice to your student page. I would prefer for you to choose a DC or a Marvel title, but my main concern is that it predates 1970. If you are having trouble with this or need a suggestion, try the questions forum or email me. I will put my initials in green font under the book you chose on your student page if it is an approved title. I'll contact you with further instructions if there is a problem with your choice.
