Overview:
Challenging the views of society and what is expected of genders will be
discussed in class. The ideals will also be brought home when given take
home activities to do with parents and family. The activities will allow
students to think critically. The activities will allow students to think
critically, because it will make them evaluate there own lives, and to think
about the whys of society. It will make them push the norm and to think
about how stereotypes and gender roles can be broken. It will give my upper
level elementary students the background knowledge to think about where
the ideals of genders come from. It will challenge their previous thoughts of
why they should be a certain way. It will also reassure both female and male
students that they are able to become whom ever they want. They are able to
break gender roles.
This lesson will also introduce the Womens Suffrage Movement. This lesson
is very important, because we are in a time when the students will no longer
have relatives that experienced the suffrage. They will not understand that
the rights women now have, were once fought over and taken seriously.
Students will also be able to learn the history of our nation, and they will
begin to learn the life they live, is far different from the lives their past
relatives did. I want to teach them about the Womens Suffrage Movement,
because I strongly believe that history repeats itself if not learned. It is
important to show students that they are able to overcome any gender
obstacle. I know that gender stereotypes are still in full effect in our society
and I want to teach my students that it is okay to be your own person. Its
okay to be a person that doesnt fit the norm.
The lesson plan is designed to teach elementary students the gender roles
that have been set by society. Students will discuss the reasons behind the
stereotypes and how gender roles can be broken. The history behind the
positive changes in society will be discussed, as well. The impact of the
Womens Suffrage on the next generation and what changes have been made
will be toward the end when student grasp the concept of how gender affects
everyday life. Students will work in small groups, class discussions, and
individually to complete drawings, investigation of famous Americans, and
the in class activities.
