Your task for the critical thinking skills assignment will be to analyze a primary source from the Course Reader. The essay should be 1 – 2 pages. It should answer the questions, who, what, when and why? It is recommended you use this format:
Introduction: Who? When?

Gender stereotypes
We have all heard about the girl who wants to join the wrestling team and the boy who wants an Easy-Bake Oven. Think about some of your earliest experiences with gender. Consider at school, extracurricular activities, your parents, your friends, etc. Discuss gender roles, stereotypes, myths, and/or controls in society that existed then and you see exist today. Do you feel that males or females have more or less “controls” placed on them by society? Is it fair? Do you believe that boys and girls/men and women should stick to the qualities, interests, etc., that society deems appropriate for their gender?
No more than 300 words.

Prepare an outline for the essay assigned for the Module 2 Case using the Formal Essay Outline.
Note: Module 2 SLP should be completed before the Module 2 Case.
Reflecting on the four gender-related videos for Module 2, write a well-organized and well-supported essay in which you help challenge society’s limiting gender narratives.
A well-organized essay has a beginning, middle, and an end. The beginning, or introduction, should include an opening sentence to grab your reader’s attention. Follow the opening sentence with a brief background on the topic or situation. In this case, it would be an explanation of gender roles, stereotypes, myths, and/or controls in society today. The last sentence of the introduction is the thesis statement. The thesis states the main point of the essay, which in this case, would be a statement affirming what needs to be done to limit gender narratives in society today.
A well-supported essay includes supporting points, details, and examples. For this essay, you must decide the best way to organize the body of the paper. Will you have a paragraph for each change? Will you divide the body of your paper into three or more paragraphs, one for each point? In any case, each body paragraph must support (explain) your reasoning (rationale) using specific details. Each body paragraph must have a topic sentence that states the main point of the paragraph.

Make sure your essay gives equal attention to both stories and Your essays should take the form of analysis rather than description.Your essay should present a sustained argument that is well written, well structured, and evidence driven, drawing specific examples from the stories and critical thinking. MLA style and no plagiarism.
Rhetorical Situation in ads
This process assignment will comprise the first few body paragraphs of your Unit 2 essay, the analysis (the evaluation paragraphs will come later). Your analysis will consist of two parts: 1) determining your ad’s rhetorical situation and 2) explaining how the ad uses rhetorical appeals to persuade its audience. In both cases, you should also determine why the creators of the ad made the decisions they made in constructing the ad.
For the first part, you are looking at the ad’s rhetorical situation, which consists of three main parts: the audience, the purpose, the context, and the genre. The intended audience of the ad is who the advertisement is intended for. The ad’s purpose is what
Concept of gender and sexuality

Education curriculum
Though English is considered the primary language in the United States, the native language of many American students is not English. This discrepancy leads to many challenges for educators in determining the best method for educating students with little or no knowledge of the English language. Some believe that the best way to prepare students to become a part of their community is to immerse them in an English-only program, while others state that students will benefit more from a dual-language program.
Read the English-only or dual-language education on pages 96-97 in our textbook and conduct research on the effectiveness of these two programs.
Based on your research, which program would you promote and support? Why do you believe your program is the better choice? Explain the challenges involved with this program and determine courses of action that could be utilized by educators to overcome these challenges
