This week we are going to watch and analyze one of my favorite TV shows, Queer Eye, or at least 25 minutes of it.
Please print THIS out before Tuesday.
Homework for Tuesday:
1)Look up the word queer on the internet. How is it used? Why would gay men refer to themselves as "queer"?
2)Read below and look up any difficult words below.
This episode we will learn about
Jim, a father of three amazing kids, a physician, and a recent widower. The loss of his wife really affected him and his family as anyone can imagine. They don't sob anymore when they talk about her, but they have a lot of warm feelings when they do which is a huge step. Jim's mother-in-law lives with the family so she can help with the kids, but the living arrangement isn't ideal since she is sleeping on the floor of his daughter's room. Also, they have a great dog, Cricket, but Jim doesn't take Cricket to the park as much as he used to since he lost the motivation to go out. Fortunately, he's come to the point where he's ready to move on with his life but doesn't know exactly how to do it.
The mission: give Jim the tools and the confidence to start out new again.
Problem Areas
...Jim hasn't cut his long hair since his wife succumbed to breast cancer
...Their home is cluttered with their belongings
...The closet looks like a fallout shelter
...There is absolutely no organization in the kids' room
The key word to know is "moving on", or "to move on" -- Jim has to learn to move on from the past and live his life again.
