Plan

Equality quiz

Topics research

Speed-dating

Discussion

Gender equality quiz

Work in pairs

Use your iPad as a whiteboard

You will get 8 questions

Listen carefully

Try to guess what the answer is to the question

Note down the answer on your iPad (in large numbers/letters!)

We could, in the future, also use https://www.oxfam.org/en/gender-inequality-test-your-knowledge-and-help-us-close-gap and make cards for the topics - this quiz is perhaps a little more up-to-date

Remember?

What did we talk about last week?

What was the topic?

What did you do?

Gender inequality, other than less pay?

Topic research - in pairs

Look at your topic question, the answer and the link (if present). Go to the website or Google information and find:

- Short description of the issue

- Important percentages

- Something that shocks you

- What kind of improvement has there been made?

- Anything else that you would consider important information

Both of you need to write the information down.

Speed-dating - in pairs

Take out a pen/paper or use your iPad.

The student sitting on the right side of the pair moves in a snake shape one seat when the timer runs out.

You each get 2 minutes to explain your topic to the other student.

The other student takes notes on your topic.

After 2 minutes, you swap roles.

After 4 minutes, one student moves to a different seat (in the same snake-like pattern), to talk to a different classmate about their topic, and learn about a new topic.

What have you learned, what has shocked you?

Homework (for next GC lesson)

At home, look at gender inequalities within your own country. Think about the following:

In what way can you see gender inequality in your lives. Think about; gender roles (mum and dad), sport, work, professions, toys (dolls, cars etc).
