Resources for 2x 70 minute lessons at the beginning of a unit on Gender and Identity. A worksheet for a documentary viewing lesson. I utilise the broadcast strategy approach (Barry & King, 1998) previewing the questions prior to playing the documentary so that students know what to listen out for. The documentary Gendered Revolution is available on Click View https://clickv.ie/w/7Xcp. The worksheet includes a range of cognitions. There are several terms for the students to define (based on the explanations provided in the documentary). There are boxes for them to record the viewpoints of different people who are interviewed in the documentary. There are some questions which require the students to form an opinion about what should be done in particular scenarios. There are also some post viewing questions for after watching the documentary. A PowerPoint to use when going through the answers to the worksheet (it displays the questions and sometimes a sentence starter / some screenshots from the documentary to jog students memories.) Part of a set of resources created for a senior Social & Community studies class in Australia (QCAA syllabus). The other resources are also available in my store - Aussie_Resources. Designed for use in 70 minute lessons. The end of term assessment for this unit was a 90 minute short response examination.

A lesson designed to teach students about groups which have been marginalised in the past (LGBTQIA+) and the importance of inclusivity. It begins with a discussion of whether students have seen television show Queer Eye and why it is important for marginalised groups to have representation in the media. Following this students are introduced to groups outside of the outdated ‘gender binary’ (e.g. androgynous, gender fluid / gender queer, transgender etc.) and to theconcept of gender dysphoria / gender nonconformity. Students are to take notes and engage in discussions of visual stimulus and clips (including some from the reboot of Will and Grace.) This lesson also introduces students to the various types of sexuality (Asexual, bisexual, pansexual, homosexual and heterosexual). Teach students about the importance of respecting people’s preferred pronouns. The second part of the lesson is skills based where students are introduced to one type of question from their upcoming exam.They must make inferences about someone based on their appearance + information about occupation (job) and personal interests. We talk through an ‘I do’ where my answers have been colour coded to show where I have provided evidence / addressed different aspects of the question. Following this, students have to do their own.
