In this lesson, students compare humour on television to humour in their own lives.

In this lesson, students explore the nature of stereotypes by looking at the negative image of the TV dad as presented in situation comedies (sitcoms) and advertisements.

This lesson familiarises students with stereotypes and helps them understand the role that stereotypes play in television’s portrayal of life.

This lesson helps students become more aware of the stereotypes associated with portrayals of students and teachers on TV. (It is also a good follow-up to the elementary lesson TV Stereotypes.)
