Write a review of any TV series with a Black, Indigenous, Latinx, Asian American/Native Hawaiian/Pacific Islander, or LGTBQ+ lead character
Pick any TV series with a Black, Indigenous, Latinx, or AANHPI lead character, or an LGBTQ+ lead character of any ethnicity. Write a review of that series and focus on the lead character you have chosen. Relate your opinions about the text to the themes/topics/concepts we study in the units pertaining to that character’s ethnicity or sexuality. Write a 2-page double-spaced review. Make sure your review is 2 FULL pages — your writing should start at the top of page 1 (after your name) and go to the bottom of page 2 — a review shorter than 2 pages will not receive points.
