end of semester grading can be overwhelming, but it’s counter-balanced by the awesome work of students.
here’s the title of another final project i got to read - which breaks down this trope in the movies: Splash, The Little Mermaid, Enchanted, Tron, The Fifth Element, Alita, and Poor Things.

i graded two projects today that took a critical approach to social media.
one looked at social media & increasing anxiety & depression.
other looked at how media in the digital age homogenizes culture.
i feel like criticism of social media has been increasing w/ students the past few years.
