Eve Rodsky’s deck of cards could help you find domestic bliss


  1. Eve Rodsky was fed up. For years she, like many other women, had shouldered the burden
  2. of invisible labor at home. Rodsky, a Harvard-educated lawyer and organizational management
  3. specialist who advises families and charitable foundations, was tired of being the “she-fault”
  4. parent. So, she started a spreadsheet titled “Shit I do.” “After months and months of
  5. crowdsourcing this beautiful, giant spreadsheet, I sent this to my husband and said, ‘Can’t wait
  6. to discuss.'”
  7. Rodsky shared the spreadsheet on Facebook. Soon, she was receiving messages from
  8. strangers who had seen it, detailing the domestic indignities they faced. She wanted to channel
  9. that frustration into something productive, and then Rodsky realized she could apply
  10. organizational management principles to the home. When Sarah Harden, the CEO of the media
  11. and production company Hello Sunshine, met Rodsky, she realized Rodsky was onto something
  12. novel. “After 40 to 50 years of talking about the problems, she was working on a solution. [At
  13. Hello Sunshine], (...) We like to be on the problem-solving end of the conversation rather than
  14. wallowing” said Harden.
  15. The result is Rodsky’s book, Fair Play: A Game-Changing Solution for When You Have Too
  16. Much to Do (and More Life to Live), which came out in October. (Hello Sunshine inked a unique
  17. deal with Rodsky as a venture partner, which means the company helped sell the book to a
  18. publisher and will take a cut of its profits.) A key piece of Rodsky’s solution is gamifying the
  19. notion of fair play with a set of cards. “So this is based on a 100 card game. You’re holding cards
  20. that represent all that you do for your home and family.”
  21. The author believes the cards can help couples navigate their domestic balance by helping
  22. them to talk about home life (which most people don’t do) and take full ownership of the tasks
  23. (concept, planning, and execution). The ultimate goal of redistributing domestic work, according
  24. to Rodsky, is to free up time for what she calls “unicorn space” — the stuff that might feel like a
  25. luxury or pipe dream to most parents. “This is about making time for the things we actually care
  26. about — who we were before we had kids,” she said. “What are our passions and purpose,
  27. beyond being a parent and a partner and a worker? The more we spend time arguing about who
  28. does what, the less time we have for the things that truly matter.”

These are excerpts from the text:


1. Eve Rodsky was fed up. For years she, like many other women, had shouldered the burden of invisible labor at home. (l. 01-02).

2. Rodsky shared the spreadsheet on Facebook. Soon, she was receiving messages from strangers who had seen it, detailing the domestic indignities they faced. (l. 07-08).


Consider the statements bellow about excerpts 1 and 2:


I. In 1, the use of past perfect suggests that Rodsky doesn’t “shoulder the burden” anymore.

II. In 2, the past perfect was used because there is reference to two actions in the past, and one happened before the other.

III. In 1, if the past perfect structure were replaced by present perfect continuous it would imply the continuity of the action up to nowadays.


Which statements are correct?

A Mayor on Easter Island Is Up in Arms After a Runaway Pickup Truck Knocked Over a Sacred Statue


(1º§)Archaeologists have long assumed that the ancient society that erected the colossal Moai figures on Chile's Rapa Nui, better known as Easter Island, collapsed many centuries ago. Now, a new study indicates that the islanders' civilization was still going strong when Europeans arrived in 1722.
(2º§)The island was settled in the 13th century by Polynesians, and is known __ the famed Easter Island "heads" (many of the bodies have been buried by erosion over the centuries).
(3º§)The research, which appears in the Journal of Archaeological Science, contests the accepted timeline that the Easter Island society was already in decline by the year 1600 and its massive stone statues left to fall into disrepair.
(4º§)Conducting radiocarbon dating on 11 sites __ Easter Island, the authors determined the timeline of each monument's construction. Their findings indicate that Easter Islanders were still actively building new Moai figures, and maintaining existing ones, up until at least 1750.s of fresh water-a precious resource. As well as moments to their ancestors, it turns out they may have also served a more utilitarian purpose.
(5º§)Further supporting these results are historical documents __ the island's first European visitors. Written accounts from the Dutch explorers who arrived in 1722 found that the monuments were in active ritual use, with no signs of decline, and the same goes for the Spaniards who landed in 1770. It was only in 1774 that James Cook found the giant statues in ruins and the figures knocked over.
(6º§)"The way we interpret our results and this sequence of historical accounts is that the notion of a pre-European collapse of monument construction is no longer supported," lead author Robert DiNapoli told Archaeology & Arts.
(7º§)"Once Europeans arrive on the island, there are many documented tragic events due to disease, murder, slave raiding and other conflicts," added co-author Carl Lipo. "The degree to which [the Rapa Nui people's] cultural heritage was passed on-and is still present today through language, arts, and cultural practices-is quite notable and impressive. I think this degree of resilience has been overlooked due to the collapse narrative and deserves recognition."

Critical Literacy

    Critical literacies are not new among scholars and researchers in literacy education. However, due to different theoretical bases, there is no unique definition of “critical literacy”. In their broadest sense, critical literacies refer to the ability to read texts going beyond their superficial meaning. That is, it implies approaching texts in a reflective way to understand working ideologies such as power, inequality, and injustice. In the realm of critical literacy, text is understood as a “vehicle through which individuals communicate with one another using the codes and conventions of society” (Robinson & Robinson, 2003, p. 3). Texts, in this sense, can be either songs, novels, poems, conversations, pictures, movies, and so on. […]

    Hence, the critical literacies approach is generally contrasted with functional literacy. The former views literacy as a social practice, while the latter views literacy as the mastery of linguistic skills. In addition, Manning (1999) developed a framework to distinguish critical literacies from functional literacy by establishing the difference between their respective ideology purpose, literacy curriculum, and instruction. On the one hand, the main objective of functional literacy is to produce skilled workers for the marketplace. Consequently, the curriculum is restrictive and the instruction is individualistic and competitive. On the other hand, for critical literacies, texts are not neutral but marked by power messages, dominating interests, and hidden agendas. In order to deconstruct these texts and unveil their ideological messages and power relationships, the curriculum is to employ materials from the everyday world as text and analytic tools.

    Critical scholars have overtly supported the idea that there is not a single procedure for incorporating critical literacies into the classroom, given that the particularities of the context where the foreign language is taught differ from one another. Thus, an approach to critical literacies “needs to be continually redefined in practice” (Comber, 2001, p. 274).


Adapted from: Jiménez, M.C. G. and Gutiérrez, C.P. “Engaging English as a Foreign Language Students in Critical Literacy Practices: The Case of a Teacher at a Private University” available at http://www.scielo.org.co/scielo.php?script= sci_arttext&pid=S1657-07902019000100091&lng=en&nrm=iso
