We had the sexist ads to work with, and so far this is what we came up with in class:
-put the ads on the board and have students write their initial reactions. Then ask them "what are the gender roles like in your country? Are they anything like this?" and have them write down their responses.
-have a discussion about what the students wrote down
-have a discussion on sexism and have students try and determine, as a class, some of the assumptions the ads are making (women only have one purpose, men deserve to be waited on, etc.)
-general langauge awareness: How would you change the words (and/or pictures) to make the ads less sexist? Have a class discussion.
-have students take all of this information and write once again, this time discussing what the ad is doing, and then how to change it (exactly what was discussed in class)
