There were lots of interesting posts about gendered items while shopping this weekend. This one is from Lauren Y., who spotted this "Lady Camo Bomber Hat" for $27.49.

Check In/Review Agreements: At the beginning of class, we went over the Courageous Conversations Agreements, as always, to begin our work together for the day. After checking in, we talked for a bit about what is happening in the world outside of class, before moving on.
Current Event: After checking in, Alex B, Ebado, Max A, and Darius had the Current Event for the day. Here is the presentation that we went through together as a class:

Gendered Products: We REALLY enjoyed seeing what students found and posted in Google Classroom as far as gendered products! In class, we went over a few examples that students found, which were super interesting. Try and train yourself to see the ways in which we "gender" society in these sorts of ways.
Documentary: The rest of class was devoted to finishing the recent National Geographic documentary on Gender. To watch the trailer for the documentary, click here:
During the documentary, we wanted students to take notes on what they were seeing and how it connected to the vocabulary definitions and questions they had at the start of the unit. This was it for class today! Thanks everyone - see you on Thursday!
Suggestion- You should play the song "You Don't Own Me" by Lesley Gore... Girl power!
