KS3 (7/8/9) Women in the media

This is a lesson planned for a high-ability Year 7 class looking at injustice and how women are treated by the media. Pupils will look at an array of famous women and look at newspaper articles comparing their treatment. There will be activities supporting them in picking out key quotes and language devices, before discussing these. Students will then focus on the different representations of Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle in the media. The final activity will require students to write an analytical paragraph exploring how the language represents the women. This lesson is easily adaptable for any KS3 class of any ability.
