In groups, students investigate how men and women are portrayed to the public through the media, how they behave and how they relate to each other. Different groups research:

4 songs / lyrics 4 TV series / films 4 TV adverts 4 pieces of news

Groups report their findings back to the class and explain how people of different genders were being portrayed in their area of investigation. How were men and women shown to be relating to each other? Were these images realistic? Discuss the evidence and draw the conclusions.
