He said/she said: Analyzing gender roles through dialogue
This lesson has students brainstorm some gender stereotypes, find examples in popular culture, and discuss how the stereotypes affect their lives. After this introduction to stereotypes, students choose two characters (one male, one female) from a class novel, and analyze the ways that the characters’ speech is described. Students then evaluate how the author’s language might send a message about gender roles. Optionally, students may present their findings to the class and discuss their opinions in small groups.
