Here are the original instructions

Gender – Sexuality – Identity

Instructions for group work

1        Watch all the clips and read all the articles on the list enclosed (all groups)

2        Go through again the clips or articles that your group has to focus on and discuss the following points for each one of them:

What is the main issue in each of the clips or articles?

Are there any views expressed in the clips/articles that you don’t agree with or find provocative? If so, give examples.

From each clip/article, choose one quotation or short extract that you find interesting to discuss.

Add your own questions and ideas to discuss.

3        Each group must have a secretary who takes notes and sends them to all group members after each class. You take turns being the secretary. Don’t forget to keep a track of your own ideas (to be handed in on Wednesday 13th Oct.)

4        Group presentation and discussion in class (Same day)

We do this by giving short presentations from the different groups commenting on the resources which were provided.

You should also, by the end of the class, have sent in your personal reflection based on the questions.
