Today's schedule is D-C-B-A

D Block Human Geography 11 - Today with Mr. V we will be wrapping things up from the unit we covered

C Block Criminology 12 - Today we're off to the library to watch three episodes of Scooby Doo and to write an entry on our blogs about it. Most of us will have started out watching crime through the relatively innocent eyes of Scooby Doo. So today, FIRST I'd like you to watch the “What’s New Scooby Doo” episode called “Ready to Scare”? (It ran on the WB from 2002-2006) It is right below.



NEXT I'd like you to watch one of the two newer series Scooby Doo Mystery Incorporated or Be Cool Scooby Doo. How is this version of Scooby Doo different than the one from the newer one Scooby Doo, Mystery Incorporated!


 
Or the newer, newer one (Be Cool, Scooby Doo)?


 
Or the older one (Scooby Doo and Scrappy Doo)?


Or the older, older one (The Scooby Doo Show)?


Or the older, older, older one (Scooby Doo Where are You?)



Lastly I'll have you watch this and then ON YOUR BLOG answer the questions below (about Scooby Doo in general including Scooby Doo Where are You?, The Scooby Doo Show, Scooby Doo and Scrappy Doo, What's New Scooby Doo, Scooby Doo! Mystery Incorporated, and Be Cool Scooby Doo):

1. What assumptions or beliefs do Scooby Doo’s creators have that are reflected in the content?
2. How does this make you feel, based on how similar or different you are from the people portrayed in the media product?
3. How does the commercial purpose (it's made for a profit right?) of Scooby Doo cartoons influence the content and how it's communicated?
4. Who and what is shown in a positive light? In a negative light? Why might these people and things be shown this way?
5. Who and what is not shown at all? What conclusions might audiences draw based on these facts?
6.  "How does Scooby Doo explain crime and gender roles to young people"?
