Gender Violence, Gender Justice
|
|
This curriculum gives junior and senior high school teachers a rich set of materials to help students recognize, respond to, and eliminate sexual harassment and gender-based violence. Many of the guide's activities revolve around extracting and analyzing themes related to relationship abuse from classical and contemporary literary works and historical texts that are typically included in reading lists for English literature, social studies, health and psychology classes. Students are encouraged to examine, discuss and write about issues related to personal boundaries, relationship violence, acts of betrayal, and examples of friendship, justice and courage. Exercises and activities range from role-plays and case studies to ethnographic research, writing assignments and mini-debates. Notes for teachers offer background readings and tips for handling students' disclosures of abuse or harassment. Lessons can be adapted flexibly to meet teachers' needs and priorities--either condensed to one or two sessions or stretched out over the course of several weeks.
Recommended for teachers of junior and senior high school students (Grades 7-12) who want to incorporate sections on gender bias and healthy relationships in courses on literature, history, psychology and related academic fields.
