*For the IB MYP curriculum but can be edited for KS3 Statement of Inquiry: “Stories have been used to dispossess and to malign. But stories can also be used to empower, and to humanize. Stories can break the dignity of a people. But stories can also repair that broken dignity.” (Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie) Inquiry Questions: Factual: What is prejudice? What are the effects of prejudice? What has shaped your ideas about different cultures? Conceptual: How do writers use language to show the dehumanising effects of prejudice? Debatable: How does the media and literature present people of colour? To what extent does the media and literature affect our perceptions of people of colour? What effect has your education had on your perceptions of people of colour?

Overview of unit: Students will read extracts from a wide range of fiction and non-fiction texts, exploring the presentation of and attitudes to women in various contexts. Through exploring the experiences of various fictional and real women, students will understand ideas about misogyny, sexism, oppression, bias and race. By understanding how language can be manipulated to shape our perceptions, students will be challenged to explore their own attitudes and understand how these attitudes may have formed, and ultimately reflect on how they can help the feminist cause.
