In Class:
Journal--  Respond to the following quote: "Gender equality is more than a goal in itself. It is a precondition for meeting the challenge of reducing poverty, promoting sustainable development, and building good governance." -Kofi Annan

Discussed and reviewed feminist theory in literary criticism: a school of analyzing events, relationships, and cultural production either as a consequence of or strongly influenced by gender separation and gender hierarchy. (See separate handout for more information and exploration of the theory, including Binary Opposition and Thought.)

The remaining class time was dedicated to work on final projects. Remember to bring your book and anything else you would like for an extended reading time next class!

Exit ticket: Identify one event in Their Eyes Were Watching God that you could analyze using feminist criticism.

Homework:
Read your final project!
