Introduction

Men and Women
In this theme we are looking at men and women and the topic of gender.
There are many issues surrounding gender ranging from women’s rights to gay marriage. But in this theme we are taking a look at some aspects of gender equality.

What are you going to do?
First of all we read an article about the brain and differences between male and female brains and we discover that there are some physical differences.
Then we look at clothes and the work place: are the rules different for men and women?
Then we take a look at gender pay gap. You’ll find out what French women did when they wanted to draw attention to the issue.
Finally, you’ll hold a class debate.

What about you?
How do you think about gender stereotypes, for example that all girls like pink, ballet and dolls remain in society?
Do you think that there are any jobs which only men or only women can or should do?



Have fun!
