Content Disclaimer: Preview all linked videos and articles to determine if the language and images are appropriate for your students as 2 of the 20 videos critique damaging gender stereotypes (including sexualized images and degrading language). Please be sensitive to students who do not view gender as binary by introducing this lesson with a statement like the following: “While today we are talking about male and female gender stereotypes, it is important to note that some people aren’t boys/men or girls/women, they’re just people.” To explain the difference between gender identity and sex assigned at birth, consider reading aloud all or part of GLSEN’s Gender Discussion Guide.
NOTE: If your school does not allow YouTube, google search “youtube to MP4” on your home computer and use any of the first sites to instantly convert the included YouTube links to MP4 files to play from your school desktop, SmartBoard, PPT, etc.
Start using this product and see your apathetic, reluctant students transform before your eyes on the last days of school!
