==Criteria for evaluating critical work==
 
All groups will discuss Vande Berg, Wenner and Gronbeck's criteria for evaluating critical work--looking at one specific criterion. Apply your criterion to Kristen Warner, [http://flowtv.org/2011/08/who-gon-check-me-boo/ "'Who Gon Check Me Boo': Reality TV as a Haven For Black Women’s Affect,"] ''Flow'' (August 18, 2011). How well does this essay fit your criterion?
