Like five minutes max. I taught it a while ago for a teacher workshop, and all I did was pass out the original comic, define the Bechdel Test, and have the students list some movies they could think of that passed the test and discuss how difficult it actually is to think of many. <BR/>Sorry it isn't anything more than that.

I finished my MA in '06, and still flirt with returning for a PhD. I think I still need time away, though. ; )Amber Leabhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09200575390394666074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6504469498403243043.post-41580890210189131382008-09-26T16:27:00.000-04:002008-09-26T16:27:00.000-04:00Wow, I've been curious about the Bechdel Test (whi...Wow, I've been curious about the Bechdel Test (which I used to call the Mo Movie Measure until I was corrected by a reader) forever.
