Starter 17, 9/28: Seminar Reflection Feedback and Writing Goals

STEP 1: Please open up your ABC seminar reflection in google classroom and read my comments on your paragraphs as well as what I wrote in the writing rubric. Don't just accept my comments- actually READ THEM and respond when I pose a question. That way we can actually have more of a dialogue through google docs to continue to improve your writing and depth of thought!
NOTE: If you attached an additional document with your paragraphs, go there.
2nd NOTE: If you didn't finish your seminar reflection, you have until tomorrow to do so in order to receive feedback from me.

Step 2:  Read the STUDENT EXAMPLE reflection I added to google classroom (also linked here).
​
Step 3:  Answer the following questions in your comp. book based on my feedback and your observations of the student example:

1. What is the most important thing you need to do to improve your writing?
2. What is the second most important thing you need to do to improve your writing?
3. Do you have any questions about my feedback?

Introduction to Social Identity #1: Gender Identity

• Divide your paper into two sections and label them "male and female stereotypes".
• Generate as many stereotypes you can come up with. Include: roles at home and society, intelligence, what each are good at, what jobs they fill, who they have relationships with, etc.
  
• Really push what you know!  Think beyond the most obvious!
• When you are done come up to the board and write 2 in each section. If one is already up there write a different one.

The Good Wife’s Guide (1955) and The Insult that Made Mac a Man (1972)

Key Terms for Gender Identity Studies

With your table partner match the following definitions with these Gender Identity Vocab Words:
Gender Identity,  Sex, Gender, Gender Expression 

1. ________refers to a person’s sexual anatomy, like chromosomes, hormones, and internal and external sex organs. The terms “male” and “female” are often used to talk about an individual’s sex
   
2. ________refers to the characteristics and behaviors that a society or culture associates with males and females. The terms “masculine” and “feminine” are usually used to describe gender.
   
3. ________is an individual’s deeply held sense of being male, female or another gender. This is separate from biological sex.
   
4. ________ can be defined as the way we show our gender to the world. Societal expectations of gender expression are reinforced in almost every area of life. Even very young children are clear about the gendered choices that boys and girls are “supposed to” make in relation to toys, colors, clothes, games and activities. (Definition from Teaching Tolerance)
