This lesson focuses on Martha Nussbaum's objectification theory. I wanted to provide students with academic language and concepts at the start of the unit, so they can be able to name what they see as we proceed. Agenda:

PART 1: Read these headlines. The left side shows the headline that was actually used in the media. The right side shows what the headline would look like if the sexism was taken out.
PART 2: Watch this video clip (which summarizes a longer movie called Killing Them Softly 4)
This lesson takes society's messages about women a step further. We examine old (and modern) advertisements that reflect gendered and racial messages. Agenda

•Watch the video: “How the Media Failed Women in 2013” by The Representation Project •Write a response with:
Phase One: "Constructive Conversations" (this was the name of the Internationals Network workshop I attended today that seems like a building block to seminars)
Phase Two: Socratic Seminar! (these resources are from a seminar conducted by Lori Sandler and Rose Golder-Novick, 2 amazing teachers at my school - all resources attached below were created by Lori)
Today we began our media unit by examining what gendered messages we receive from society. We looked at popular search engine terms, a poem, and discussed problematic gendered insults. Agenda

Today we started to present our final projects for our identity unit. The students impressed me. They made posters, drawings, movies, songs, and poems. We shared using the sharing circle protocol, which you can find in my previous post. I'm still working on gathering digital files of the projects to upload and student approval to post their projects on this site. Below I've posted what I've gathered so far.
Here's the final lesson for the students before they begin presenting projects tomorrow! I wanted them all to revise and edit, but some students were still stuck in the drafting stage of the writing process. Therefore, I chose 2 videos students could watch independently (whenever they reached the revising/editing stage), and apply to their papers. Agenda:
