Students change or modify existing text and pictures to present an updated, gender equitable story. Original art work should be encouraged. In order to complete the project efficiently and well, it's a good idea to have groups select an editor, an art director, a typist, etc. Each group designs a plan of action that states who will do what, and when it will be done. These plans of action should be submitted to the instructor early on in the project.
Groups present their re-worked or original books to the class.
Discussion should follow each presentation, focusing on the process of de-stereotyping the text. If possible, present the re-worked stories to the original target audience, little kids. Assess group work in terms of willingness to cooperate, timeliness of work completion, leadership tendencies, etc. A rubric will help evaluate the more subjective aspects of this project. Assess the re-worked books.
