Language, Gender, and Culture

Good Morning!

 Please put your cell phones completely out of sight for the FULL duration of the class.  Please do not have me remind you of this. NOTE: Please bring a book to class vs. reading a book on your phone. 

NOTE: Please keep up with your assignments as we go through this second semester. My blog HERE is where you check to see if you have missed an assignment in the event of an absence, not after it is posted on PowerSchool.  

New Module:  Language, Gender, and Culture.  I have not duplicated the packet for this module.  I will be putting the activities on the Promethean Board.  You will receive today a prepared response journal for the activities which you will maintain throughout this module.
In this module we will be examining gender norms and the ways social pressures enforce those norms.  You will begin by reflecting on your own experiences of gender-based social pressures to gain a deeper understanding of the relationships between language, gender, culture, and identity.

NOTE:  I will be working on your "Value of Life" essays through this week.
