Using the board, have a student volunteer write down student suggestions. When a list is compiled, have students find common stereotypes within the list. Divide the class into small groups, perhaps three students per group. Ask students to think of five myths involving gender and careers and write them down. Then ask students to write down the 'truth' about each myth, drawing on their own ideas and experiences.
Women do have the physical strength to do nontraditional work.
Women are capable of increasing their physical strength and abilities by weight and physical fitness training. Many nontraditional jobs do not even expect men to have physical strength, such as engineering, robotics, and electronics. Also, technology has advanced the development of forklifts, pallett-jacks, and other types of equipment that assist with moving heavy objects. Give students markers, poster board, paper, glue, and long slips of paper. Once the posters are finished, display them in the classroom with a small presentation from each small group.
