The Impact of Gender Stereotypes - Lesson
This is the third of three lessons that address gender stereotypes. The objective of these lessons is to encourage students to develop their own critical intelligence with regard to culturally inherited stereotypes, and to the images presented in the media - film and television, rock music, newspapers and magazines.
Gender and Tobacco - Lesson
In this lesson, students explore gender-related influences on smoking.
The Girl in the Mirror - Lesson
In this lesson, students look at how gender stereotyping may discourage young women from becoming involved in politics.
Suffragettes and Iron Ladies - Lesson
This lesson considers how the media portrays women in politics. Students explore capsule biographies of female political leaders, from ancient times to current events – crafted from snippets of media coverage such as newspapers, magazines, TV news and encyclopedias – to understand bias in how female politicians are portrayed.
Mirror Image - Lesson
In this lesson, students analyze their own body image and consider what they wish they could change.
