What is CLIO? from IMATS @ Barnard on Vimeo.
Day 1/Step 1: Read the text (Example: Ovid’s Hermaphroditus) and think of the themes that really compel you (Examples: gender, femininity, masculinity, femininity as comedy or punishment/devaluation, artistic depictions of Hermaphroditus)
Day 2: Read a few summaries/reviews of the text, I even usually read a Wikipedia summary
Also read related texts (Example: NYT article “What’s so bad about a boy in a dress?” from 2012)
Day 3: Start generating questions about the text
Day 4: Search questions separately based on main ideas and nouns from the questions
