BEFORE YOU WATCH: Frames in Unit 9

Use the “Three Close Reads” approach as you watch the video below (next in the lineup!). If you want to learn more about this strategy, click here.

First read: preview and skimming for gist

Before you watch, you should skim the transcript first. The skim should be very quick and give you the gist (general idea) of what the video is about. You should be looking at the title, thumbnails, pictures, and first few seconds of the video for the gist.

Second read: key ideas and understanding content

Now that you’ve skimmed the video transcript and taken a quick peek at the video, you should preview the questions you will be answering. These questions will help you get a better understanding of the concepts and arguments that are presented in the video. Keep in mind that when you watch the video, it is a good idea to write down any vocab you read or hear that is unfamiliar to you.

By the end of the second close read, you should be able to answer the following questions:

In what ways are we all connected as part of a global network?
How can we view decolonization through the lens of the production and distribution frame?
In what ways are we members of global communities?
What are some problems with globalization raised by this video?

Third read: evaluating and corroborating

Finally, here are some questions that will help you focus on why this video matters and how it connects to other content you’ve studied.

At the end of the third read, you should be able to respond to these questions:

You have been asked to evaluate the impact of globalization. What does each frame contribute to your evaluation? Why is it useful to use more than one frame? Is there a fourth frame, that you can think of, that might be useful as well?
How has globalization been important in shaping your present?

Now that you know what to look for, it’s time to watch! Remember to return to these questions once you’ve finished watching.
