Poster - Identity

With a partner,  you will put together a poster.

Please buy a poster board from the Art teacher, Mr. S or at a stationary store.

You will examine the concept of identity as it relates to our gender and sexuality.

Think about the following parts of identity: 

• the characteristics of men and women that you listed.  Do you see those characteristics as negative, positive and how many are created from society?  List at least five for each. 
• stereotypes- List at least five. Are they true or not?  How does media influence stereotypes?
• Media influence- How does media influence identity?  What messages does media reinforce about being female and male?
• Sexuality-  Describe the range of gender identities. How are LGBT communities treated in society, and what are the rights for LGBT persons in Canada?  And more importantly, in the Saanich school district?  You will need to talk to Ms. Laws or one of the counsellors to answer this last question.

Please design a poster with images and answers to the above questions.

You will be graded on content, design and creativity.   Print out images, draw or use magazines! 

Forty marks. Due Friday, end of class.

Assignment:  Create a document in your Planning 10 folder on your desktop.  

Collect images of male and female youth from the internet that connect to identity. 

Collect at least five for each category and write one or two sentences that you find interesting.  How do they connect with some of the ideas that we came up with in class?  

For example:  

Many of you said that all women are gentle.  What does this look like in an image?
