No worries. Here’s my response (left also on Lindsey’s blog).
Hi, Sarah and Lindsey. I think this is an important topic for first-year students to think about in a first-year course. I believe your dramatization will work well. I’m wondering if you might seed inquiry by going further than just stating “the world is more complicated that we though” at the end. Can you push viewers to apply what you’ve shown them in some way?
I’m including three references that you might find useful, but that you might not have encountered in your work (mostly because they come out of rhetoric/writing). Two are fairly dated but the Graham piece is relatively recent and won a best article award in 2009.
