Using either "The Hypocrisy Bowl" or "Metrosexual Matrimony," (links are below in the commentary assignment section) analyze the commentary using the following questions. This should be done in a small group of 2-3, and should be put on one person's blog. You can either use your laptop or your group can go to the computer lab if you're quiet. We will meet back here at the predetermined time so that we can go over your answers in class.
1. What is the trend or situation on which the commentary focuses?
2. Does the author give the reader an interesting introduction to the issue? Why or why not?
3. Does the author explain the context of the issue? How in-depth does he or she go? What do you think this signifies regarding the intended audience of the commentary?
4. What are the possible causes of the trend or situation the author explores?
5. What examples or observations does the author give to back their belief that these are the possible causes?
6. What is the author's stance on the topic?
7. What significance does the author see in this trend or situation?
Please phrase your answers in complete sentences. This exercise will be worth 50 points, so please make sure to put all of your group member's names on here!
