2) This is a Critical Thinking Day! One of many days where we will grab a really BIG topic and ask some tough questions. We might not figure out all of the answers but we will definitely do some serious thinking. First, we will need to consider the basic elements of critical thinking - Clarity, Accuracy, Precision, etc... see handout. Make posters to put up on the wall to remind us how to think critically every day.
3) Today's Issue: Gender Identity
Introductory videos. What do I mean by gender identity? Gender socialization? Had things changed much in 40 years? Have they changed today?
