Today's schedule is ABCD

This is me missing you today...I am just a sad puppy

D & A Block Human Geography - I wish I could say "today we're looking at the key question "Why Do Conflicts Arise among Ethnicities?". Alas, I cannot. Today, I lose you. Sigh.... You will be working with the careers and work experience office today to discuss stuff other than Human Geography. I guess it will be important or they wouldn't have asked to take you away from me today. Don't worry, it'll be fine and tomorrow you'll be back in room 115 looking forward to learning more about the conflict and cooperation in South Asia connected to the partition of India and the conflict in Sri Lanka. Until then I'll just hang out here and I don't know look at a globe I guess. Sigh...

B Block Criminology - You asked me for more time to watch and work on your Scooby Doo media analysis from last Monday. So, today I'd like you to finish watching

1. “What’s New Scooby Doo” episode called “Ready to Scare”? (It ran on the WB from 2002-2006), along with the 
2. "Scooby Doo Mystery Incorporated" episode "Fear The Freak" (it ran on CN from 2010 to 2013) and one of 
3. "Scooby Doo and Scrappy Doo" episode (it ran on ABC from 1979 to 1982 in a variety of formats/names) OR "Scooby Doo Where Are You" episode "Backstage Rage (it ran on CBS from 1969-1970)

How is this version of Scooby Doo different than the newer one Scooby Doo, Mystery Incorporated!


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


Or from the original one Scooby Doo Where Are You?


Lastly I'll have you watch this and then 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"?
