Hi there! My name is Tito Matias and I am an English teacher for vocational students at the Federal Institute of Rio Grande do Norte (IFRN), where I also teach undergraduate students and at a postgraduate certificate program in Literature and Teaching. Moreover, I collaborate as a permanent faculty member at the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte (UFRN)’s Graduate Program in Language Studies (PPgEL), where I advise both Master's and PhD students in the field of Comparative Literature.
This Text Set offers ten activities centered on the theme of Gender and Feminism. The materials are structured to support a progressive learning trajectory, with simple yet thoughtful discussions about gender roles, equality, respect, and the role of feminism in society. The texts address key topics such as gender stereotypes, representation, and the pursuit of equity between women and men. Finally, through engagement with culturally relevant content, students are encouraged to examine social norms, interrogate gender-based assumptions, and connect theoretical perspectives with real-world experiences.
Essential Question: What is gender and how can feminism help create equality between women and men?
