In the last lesson, you have learned about critical lenses and how they can help to shape how we view a particular text. In this microlesson, we will continue this exploration as you directly connect critical lenses to popular culture. The explore section will model this type of analysis for you.

Practicing with Critical Lenses: Pop Culture

In this video presentation, we will explore how critical lenses work by analyzing a story from pop culture from many different critical lenses. Pay close attention, make sure that your volume is turned up, and prepare to complete your own analysis following our study.

Let's Review

This checklist is designed to get you thinking about how a critical lens might be applied to other popular culture stories.

Final Thoughts

The purpose of this lesson was to provide a practical application of the critical lens with a text from popular culture. Now that we have considered critical theory from an accessible vantage point, we will shift into applying these same critical lenses to a self-selected literary work in the next microlesson.
