TV Shows
Reminder:
You need to hand in the questions that go with the three TV shows that we watched in class ( The O.C., Glee and Gossip Girl) if you haven't already.
Also your "Cripface" questions need to be handed in. Remember these were on a handout and you answered them on a piece of loose-leaf. We did not post these on our blogs.

Who's Telling My Story
PART ONE:
Choose ONE of the following issues that we discusses in class today and write a blog entry expressing your opinion o n the issues in a post titled "Who's Telling My Story"
1. Is it fair to cast White, Christian, abled actors if there aren't enough community actors available? Why might producers use this as an excuse?
2. Is there a differences between cripface and practices likes blackface or casting White actors as Asians, Aboriginals, etc. If so, why? If not, why do we accept cripface but not these other practices?
3. Actors often play characters who are significantly different than themselves such as aliens, members of the opposite sex, or people from other times or places. What is the difference between this and "face" casting?
Is it more important that writers and producers come from the community being represented?
PART TWO:
Find two examples of blackfacing or cripfacing other than the examples that we have talked about in class.
Why do you think these actors were cast?
Is it acceptable that these actors were cast in these roles? Why or why not?
PART THREE:
For this assignment you must comment on two of your classmates blog posts. The link to everyone's blog can be found on the right hand side of my page.
