Social and Community Studies - Into Relationships unit - Factors which influence our identity

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 - lrigb4. Designed for use in 70 minute lessons.

A lesson designed to teach students how to define identity and list some factors which influence our identity, explain the difference between sex and gender, liist some of the stereotypes which exist about men and women and explain how gender can influence your personal identity.

It includes a sorting activity where students view 13 things that influence someone’s identity and rank them in order of importance to them. This is good for promoting discussion. Introduction to key terms - sex and gender. A few clips to view which contain stereotypes - students to list them in a table and then discuss after each clip. There is also a clip on gender in advertising from ABC’s the checkout which students watch and then write a paragraph to summarise what they learned.
