Gender in the Classroom

The ever changing dynamics of gender roles in our society must certainly =
be reflected in not only the ways our students approach literature, but =
also in the ways genders are represented in modern literature and the =
manner in which educators plan their presentations.  As times have =
changed, how can teachers help students to understand women such as Lady =
Macbeth or Blanche, from A Streetcar Named Desire?  Are women authors =
represented and valued as integral parts of our curricula?  Consider the =
challenges in teaching a novel dominated by male characters to a mixed =
gender classroom.  How do we ensure that all students are involved and =
feel included in the exploration of such a text?  What are effective = ways
of introducing and exploring literature centered around or told = from the
point of view of a female character?  What happens when such a = book is
presented to an entirely male class?  In addition to tackling = the gender
issues within literature and in presenting gender specific = texts, what
role does gender play in the classroom?  Do boys and girls = respond
differently to texts? to teachers? to each other?  Please share =
experiences, techniques, effective lesson plans, and research on related =
subjects. =20
