October 1: Gender Differences

In-Class Activities:

1) Neuron Note. You read answers to your questions and write a new question.

2) Culture. Wow! It's so much fun to talk about personal space. Thumbs up! Or wait, that could be bad in Nigeria.

3) Gender Differences Fishbowl Conversation. You wrote anonymous questions to ask the opposite sex and I collected them. Then all the ladies got together in a circle, with the guys listening on the outside, to have an honest conversation about them. And then we switched with the guys answering the ladies' question in the circle in order to find out their responses. This allows each gender to get a chance to talk amongst themselves honestly. In the end, we came to the conclusion that all females are not the same and all males are not the same.

Assignments:

1) Read chapter 4 pp. 143-159.

2) Chapter vocabulary notecards (optional)

3) "Gender Bender" assignment. Have fun!

Extra credit videos at lunch A days next week.
