Two theories were addressed in the analysis of the opening scene: identity theory and positioning theory. As an example of the "givens" in the field of education that we could investigate more deeply than a.
Reflections on Building a Popular Writing Course
One of the purposes of the popular culture writing classroom we have developed is to create a mutual learning environment. Instead, many first-year writing programs have shifted (or are shifting) their focus towards what David Smit in The End of Composition Studies calls "the heart of the matter in learning to write": transfer (119). Strange Fruit' and discuss how the new song borrows from or deviates from the meaning of the original song.
Each person felt good about the theme he/she chose and the content of the infographic. Most were able to highlight the value of the network and the type of programming. Blending these two facets of the course together—the critical thinking and the critical writing—is consistently a struggle for me in teaching.
Responses poured in from both 'sides' of the debate (some students even sent two or three photos because they had come up with more than one idea and wanted to share them all).
Lady Gaga Meets Ritzer: Using Music to Teach Sociological Theory
The use of music and other forms of popular culture allows instructors to appear less intimidating and as such should be particularly beneficial in the Social Theory classroom, where we commonly find students prone to intimidation (Pelton 107; Albers and Bach 239; Hickson and Stapels 262). The song "Meat is Murder" by The Smiths¹ is a stark example of an attempt to redefine the common definition of a symbol, in this case "meat". The singer, Morrissey, shrinks the following part from the song, “Heifer whines could be human cries, closer comes the screaming knife. After the lyrics are presented, the instructor can begin the discussion by asking open-ended students to consider how the song relates to symbolic interactionism.² The idea of symbol can emerge from this discussion.
Situationally similar to Harold Garfinkel's "breakthrough experiments" (Garfinkel 44-49), the poem elicits crack-filling behavior from subjects who, when confronted with the true chaotic nature of the social world, are forced to repair it or fill the crack. . This discussion could be started with music, where the instructor could ask, "What are some other examples of music that challenge our sense of normalcy?" and "How did you react when you first heard (death metal, gangsta rap, etc.)?" The sounds used in a song can hint at our expectations or refute them. Ritzer argues that "the postmodern world is destined to be a much more uncertain world than modernity, and those who live in it must have strong nerves." (228).
The method provided is an interactive exercise that provides teachers with guidance on how to use popular music in the classroom.
A Framework for Using Popular Music Videos to Teach Media Literacy

Applications in the Classroom: The Potential of Scholarly Studies in Harry Potter in Higher
SERIOUS SCHOLARSHIP AND ACADEMIC HOCUS-POCUS
He raises ethical questions about dangerous knowledge in the Hogwarts curriculum, but doesn't answer. While the lack of development of these themes may appear to be a weakness in the chapter, it offers an opening for student exploration. Lewis' chapter "If Yeh Know Where to Go: Vision and Mapping in the Wizarding World."
For example, the fact that one of the locations used to film the Leaky Cauldron is now a shop selling spectacles fits nicely with Lewis's analysis of the importance of sight, both literal and symbolic, in the wizarding world. As part of this unit, I require each student to give a short class presentation on a selected mythological object, creature, or person, addressing both its traditional origins and its use in the Harry Potter series. In the next chapter, "Death and Rebirth: Harry Potter and the Mythology of the Phoenix," Sarah Gibbons offers a detailed, well-researched, and penetrating reading of several aspects of the phoenix that are woven throughout the Harry Potter text and that extend from the text into its commodification.

CONJURING HARRY POTTER INTO THE CANON
The following two essays will be of particular interest to those who teach, or plan to teach, courses that include the Harry Potter series. Laura Baker Shearer offers inspiring examples of her use of the Harry Potter books to successfully engage college students. In the future, I plan to use this book next time I teach the class on Harry Potter.
The chapters that actually describe the use of Harry Potter in the classroom are focused on English composition and literary analysis; advanced level English instructors will find this particularly helpful. He enjoys teaching a Harry Potter philosophy course and also uses excerpts from Peter Needham's excellent Latin translations of the Harry Potter books for the enjoyment and teaching of his Latin students. She has published articles on Harry Potter and other popular culture products such as Star Trek, The Prisoner and Tin Man.

Applications in the Classroom: Pop Culture and Ed Psychology: What I Learned from Larry David,
After a close analysis of the episode, students should be able to identify all stages of Kohlberg's theory of moral development. David's reasoning behind purchasing medical marijuana is a good example of the postconventional stage for students. Due to the apocalyptic setting, viewers see characters constantly struggling for the most basic needs.
The scenes for each of the characters, at many points in the series, aren't necessarily cut and dried. Another example of the conflict instructors can use is in the eighth episode of the series. Moving beyond popular culture, students can gather academic materials for each of the concepts.

A Pedagogical Journey: Albuquerque 2015
Negotiation and collaboration are important components of any learning experience, but they are not exclusive to popular culture pedagogy. Perhaps the roundtable on "Popular Culture and Media" led by seven representatives from the University of Texas at San Antonio will provide answers to my questions. With the participation of several of their learners (Zachary Alan Leonard, Hannah McKeon, Emily Alavarenga, Jennifer Velazquez and Pascal Ibe), they presented a case study of a scheme of work that introduces film and popular culture as learning methods.
Inspired by such concepts, they arrived at nuanced assessments of popular culture and its essential role in promoting dissident views. What the panels helped me understand is that popular culture pedagogy is difficult, despite all appearances to the contrary.

Connecting the Disconnected: Pedagogy Goes Digital Native
Every generation of educators must learn to adapt to our emerging students to ensure #lifelonglearning takes place for teacher and student. As popular culture scholars already know, there is a growing intersection between popular culture and the global classroom, allowing teachers to deepen content into the relevant and timely, making material more relatable and accessible to students. As an educator, I can think of no greater challenge than connecting the disconnected, as Prensky puts it, and popular culture is one of the best ways to do that.
Of course, this means retraining ourselves, especially in the #flippedclassroom or #onlinelearning environment, where educators themselves may perceive themselves to be educationally challenged. Who wouldn't want to learn English, Sociology or Math if they are presented in the context of Lannister Vs. He also works with his schools cultural diversity committee to expose his community to cello, drums, drag culture, ska and the world outside their backyards.

Film Review: Joss Whedon’s Much Ado About Nothing: Whedon, Branagh, and the Anxiety
Film Review: Joss Whedon's Much Ado About Nothing: Whedon, Branagh, and the Anxiety of Influence. He refers to his cast as his "band," and indeed, almost every actor in the film is familiar to Whedon's fans. On this point, Whedon's film is more convincing, as is his treatment of Margaret throughout.
Another element of Whedon's film that seems to find its generative power in Branagh's concerns the relationship between Don John and Conrade in the 'plain-dealing villain' scene. Even more curious, the published screenplay of Whedon's film depicts Act 5 in its textual, uncoded stream, which seems to suggest that the flipped timeline was a late revision, and leaves Branagh's film with a fairly clear precedent.
