Agenda for 10/29 - Gold


1. VIDEO: Woman Walking Around Manhattan Catcalled 108 Times in 1 Day
  
2. Elliot Rodgers, mass killer. How do our gender norms negatively effect men? “If I Can’t Have Them, No One Will”: How Misogyny Kills Men

3. Continue work on Assignment #9 - Gender Movies (test grade for Gender Unit). 

Directions:
 
Either individually or with a partner, use iMovie (or another app of your choice - it must be approved by me first) to create a movie that answers the following questions:
  • How does our society define masculinity and femininity? 
  • What effect do these gender stereotypes have on the way "men" and "women" feel about themselves and experience the world?
  • What are some ways these stereotypes are perpetuated  by the media/advertising?
  • How might gender stereotypes lead to high rates of rape, and domestic or sexual violence? 
  • Do you think America needs to change how we raise our boys and girls (completely your opinion)?
  • Be sure to include the following in your movie:
    • Gender binary - a definition/explanation of the concept
    • Gender codes - a definition/explanation of the concept
    • Masculine gender codes/stereotypes
    • Feminine gender codes/stereotypes
    • Statistics on rape and domestic violence in America
  • You movie should include audio, text and images/video. It must answers all questions above and include the required information outline above.
  • Due: Tuesday 11/4
    • You will have class time today and Friday to work on the project.
