Part II: Chart the Text

Read and chart Lauren Washinton’s essay, “The Importance of Representation in Film and Media,” which was published in Medium in 2019. If you do not understand a word, be sure to look it up.

Below, you will find the online version of it, as well as a formated version with numbered paragraphs for you to chart. You will need to print out the formatted version to chart it.

Part III: Post (50 points)

Post your charting of Washington’s”The Importance of Representation in Film and Media.” It should be in the same format as the sample charting on slide #12 in the PowerPoint, “Critical Reading Strategy: How to Chart a Text” (posted above). Use standard capitalization and be sure that you closely follow directions. You will want to give yourself time to adjust the format on the forum. Posts that do not follow directions will receive a zero.
