Today in library the students learned about stereotyping (Common Sense Media lesson). How do we learn stereotypes of boys and girls from media messages? Students are introduced to the concept of a stereotype, and they explore the messages they receive regarding differences between boys and girls. Students first watch and discuss a video of a little girl questioning why companies market boys’ and girls’ toys differently. Then they compare and contrast gender stereotypes portrayed in two LEGO® online activity zones.
