EMPATHY Exercises

Following on from our viewing of the film, The Deveil Wears Prada and also the talk from our guest speaker, Scott Darlow, I thought it may be beneficial to revisit the idea of empathy.

In order to gain a greater understanding of what drives particular characters and to therefore explore the way women are represented, you need to choose two of the following scenarios and write a diary entry from that character's perspective:

1. Imagine you are Emily and you have just found out that Andy is going to Paris instead of you.
2. Imagine you are Andy and you have just found out that you are going to Paris instead of Emily. You haven't told her yet.
3. Imagine you are Miranda, you have just sent the fax to the editor of The New York Post (the newspaper that Andy has an interview with at the end of the film) telling him that he would be an "idiot" if he did not hire Andy.

Please write your diary entries in your Blog.

P.S. Lizzie and Maddy, you need to do the same task but your choices are as follows:

1. Imagine you are Cady and you have just added the comment in the "Burnbook" about your Math teacher. How do you feel?
2. Imagine you are Regina and you have just found out that Cady has been playing tricks on you. How do you feel?
3. Imagine you are Janis and you have just found out that Cady lied to you about going away for the weekend with her parents?
