Group in-class exercise: Identify narrative elements in texts
- Groups 1, 2, and 3 move to Group Study Rooms in the Phifer Learning Commons.
- Connect to your study group's Google doc (above).
- As a group (you can work simultaneously on a Google doc), describe how each narrative element (from lecture) is or is not found in the texts we've viewed:
- Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist (2008)
- black-ish (2014–)
- The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel (2017-)
- Identify each contribution you make by putting your initials after it. Use three initials if your group has students with the same two initials.
- For example:
- Exposition: The exposition of this Friends episode starts with Rachel and Joey discussing a previously established storyline (Monica and Chandler getting together). The exposition for a second, related storyline and this episode's main story is when we see Monica and Chandler at a work party and it's established that he has an obnoxious "work laugh." A third storyline is introduced when Ross is angry about his ex-wife getting married. (JGB)
