Powerpoints, homework for the weekend

Hey everyone!

So to keep you up to date with our class:

1. Please review the PowerPoints we go over in class. There is a lot of information that I am giving you and a lot of it is probably new. As a result, YOU need to take the time out to read it and understand it. And as always, bring questions to class. So, here is the powerpoint we have been using.

2. Your homework (DUE ON MONDAY)
a. Look at slides 10-21 of the PowerPoint. Each slide has a picture of an activity or a behavior. Please write whether this conforms to gender roles or defies the gender role. Then explain why it does conform or does not. Remember, you are taking about gender, so words like "masculine" and "feminine" should be part of your answer. Although the activity or behavior may not be evident to you at first, think about what is deemed "appropriate" behavior for men and women in our westernized society. Then, see if the male or female is acting appropriately. PLEASE PUT THE ANSWERS IN YOUR NOTEBOOK.

Here is the PowerPoint:
SOCIAL CONSTRUCTIONISM, GENDER, NORMS, and GENDER ROLES

Any questions?

Mr. Isaac.
