Learners identify and explore gender stereotypes. They build their empathy skills as a way to combat generalizations and assumptions about others. The unit closes by having learners reflect on healthy relationships, which are a manifestation of empathy and trust. By identifying safe people in their lives, learners can build support networks helping them to avoid harmful situations, resist bullying and escape violence.
Leading Questions
How do gender stereotypes affect how we treat people? What is empathy and how can we practice it? How can we develop healthy relationships? Are girls and boys the same?
