Gender Equity

This document outlines an activity for students to explore their opinions about sexual harassment through a questionnaire and discussion. Students will fill out a worksheet with statements about sexual harassment and their level of agreement. They will then discuss their answers in small groups focusing on differences of opinion. The class will then review each statement as a whole to stimulate further discussion. The objectives are for students to analyze their own attitudes, improve reasoning skills, and learn facts and myths about sexual harassment.
