=CLASSWORK= 1. Review Homework 2. Read "Being a Man" and "There is No Unmarked Woman" and discuss the gender stereotypes as well as the rhetorical devices and appeals. 3. Draft definitions of either a man or a woman. You do not have to select your gender, simply pick one to describe. You may use anecdotes, particular stereotypes, etc. Simply write an essay you'd include in a local magazine or journal. = = =HOMEWORK= 1. Go to[| Gender Guesser]. Copy and paste a writing piece you've done recently; this could be your editorial, or an assignment from the past. Make sure it is at least 300 words. Then, click analyze. Underneath, you will see a formal and informal column, with percentages. These percentages represent the likeliness of your gender, based on your writing. In the discussion section, place these two percents and then gender that the site claims you are. Next, respond to this question (in the discussion area): //Do you think that someone's gender can be determined by his/her formal writing style? Why or why not? In what instances? If your results were correct, why do you think so? If they weren't correct, why not?// 2. Finish your piece on defining a man/woman. We will share these tomorrow! 3. LOC p. 425 Exercise 2
