Socratic Seminar Questions: Gender

"Girl"
  • Examine the rules of groups in society today
  • Is this poem just stating the rules or is it stereotyping women?

"X"
  • What is your general opinion of the story?
  • Could an "X" ever survive in today's society? Is this story realistic?
  • What problems (socially and mentally) could a child develop if it is raised as an "X"?
  • Do you think that making children "X's" and "Y's" is a healthy choice to destroy the gender stereotypes in today's society?

"Trifles"
  • What is your general opinion of the story?
  • Who pays more attention to detail? The men or the women? Is this a stereotype or scientific?
  • Examine the differences between the male and female characters in the play

"WHMS"
  • Can men and women ever be just friends?

Tying it all together...
  • Does society have rules or are we stereotyping?
  • What has made men and women so different: society or science?
