Students turned in their Dialogue Journals, then turned to the discussion of the relationship between gender roles and sports--especially football--in their lives and in the books we have been reading during this unit. Students read either Brian Phillips' "Man Up" or a series of short pieces addressing parenting and gender from the New York Times "Room for Debate" section, "Do We Need to Change the Way We Raise Boys" to deepen the discussion.
Students were given Malcolm Gladwell's "Offensive Play," which they will read and write response papers about for our next session.
