Overview
Workbooks provide opportunities to relate course materials to media, scenarios, and supplemental resources in an experiential/reflective manner. Full credit replies meet length requirements, sufficiently address every component of each prompt, adhere to format/citation specifications outlined in here/our syllabus, and cite at least two course concepts. A typical paragraph consists of 4-7 sentences. Length specifications indicate the minimum expected, but you will not be marked down for exceeding limits. Insights should be original, well thought out, and supported by materials.

(#5a) Share what you’ve learned from Modern Romance with a consenting friend or family member who is 20+ years older than you. Ask them to describe their experiences with related topics such as dating, relationship types, partner selections, parenthood, or narratives about love/marriage. How do they feel about today’s contexts, technologies, and cultures involved with dating? Summarize their insights within at least 4 paragraphs – while protecting the anonymity of anyone mentioned by avoiding identifiers and using pseudonyms (instead of their real names).
*OR*
(5b) Watch a film, documentary, or TV episode about virtual relationships that is not “Striking Vipers” from Black Mirror. Examples include You’ve Got Mail, We Met in Virtual Reality, The Girlfriend Who Didn’t Exist, World of Warcraft: Looking for Group, How Dungeons & Dragons is Helping Teens with Autism, Don’t F**k With Cats (trigger warning), and Black Mirror episodes “Be Right Back” or “San Junipero.” How were tech-mediated relationships depicted overall, and compared with those in “real life”? What unique benefits and limitations/problems do they offer? How did this portrayal support or contradict course materials? (4 paragraphs)
