This assignment should be well underway by the middle of the semester. 
 

The object of this assignment is for us to reverse roles so that you, the students, become the professors, while I become the student.  To that end, you will:
 

	divide up into groups of two. Group 1:   Pless & Nissen:  women and television shows Group 2:  Halpin & McLaughlin :  women's housework Group 3:  Bonifazi & Miller:  women in the military Group 4:  Keller & Lonchyna:  ?????
	prepare a twenty-minute lesson entitled "Women Today" what is in this lesson is up to your group, but it should involve HISTORY--especially some sense of how your various definitions and illustrations of how life is today have their roots in the past that we have studied.  You may use any sort of audio-visual material that you want, just be sure that the bells and whistles do not overpower the thesis of your lesson. consider for a topic something we've already studied:  dating, housework, race relations, the modern women's movement
	hand in an annotated bibliography created by the group which includes all of the sources that each of you consulted throughout the semester

Every member of the group will get the same grade, so you must police each other to make sure that no one person does all the work. 
 

Basically, I want you to pretend that I know nothing about popular culture, current history, or your generation.  I want you to teach me about what issues concern your generation, or where your generation stands on topics of concern to past generations.  We'll be talking more about this assignment throughout the semester, but feel free to consult me anytime.
