Hi Kara!
As I read your lesson I was wondering what activities would be suitable and appropriate to guide the students through your essential questions. When I saw your learning activities, you had everything I would have suggested to use. This seem like it could be a really awkward lesson with a bunch of HS school, however, you have a great plan that will guarantee the understands you want from the students. My only suggestion would be to make your essential questions more specific..an ex "what are sex roles and how do they effect an individual's behavior?" good job!
Kara-
I loved your performance assessments. Engaging. For the essential questions, you want them to be a bit more open ended/debatable.
Overall, nice job.
I think your students will like this lesson. After reading your essential questions I can envision class of thinkers who will be very active and involved in discussions that stimulate critical thinking. The assessment evidence is also very good and the only suggestion I would offer is to include a journal that the students can keep. It can be used before or at the very end of class to discuss experiences or reactions to prior lessons. It promotes writing and also serves as a good strategy to allow students who struggle with interpersonal skills to express themselves
