Keep In Mind...
1. You need to come to class on Tuesday with questions/comments prepared about Technology of Orgasm. You will not have to turn anything in to me, but I do expect everyone to be able to participate.
2. Your essay needs to be addressing a specific representation of gender/sexuality. It can be a film, TV show, song(s), magazine, and so on. The most important element is being able to point to the representation and say "See. See what this (movie, show, etc.) is doing. That is a (mis)representation of gender." I expect you to use specific evidence--such as bits of dialogue or direct quotes. You must make a solid argument about the significance of the representation. If I ask "so what?", your paper should answer that question. Contact me if you are feeling unsure about what you are suppose to do.
3. If you decide to incorporate outside sources, do so in MLA format. Information on MLA format can be found atMLA or Diana Hacker
