Notes for Teachers
*
Ask students to consider and
reflect on the following questions
with a partner:
• “How do gender roles shape
both our expectations and
society’s expectations of
ourselves?”
Students may complete this
portion of the activity using a
Think Pair Share strategy.
Once students have had an
opportunity to think of at least one
or two future expectations, they
may pair up with a seat partner
and share their thoughts.
Ask students to reflect on the
following:
• When did the rights and
expectations for female
citizens change in Canada?
What were the different
societal conditions that
prompted change?
• How has it been for women In
other countries?
• What kind of evidence do you
see for this?
During
(Working on it)
5 minutes
In groups of three to five,
students will explore the working
challenges and conditions of
women during the era under
study, using selected websites and/
or texts.
Students will work as a team to
select aspects to dramatize.
They will construct a tableau
based on the information they
have explored, as well as their own
inferences on what life in general,
and working life in specific, might
have been like.
After choosing characters, aspects
of experience, attitudes and an
overall setting, students will have
some time to interact to bring
their tableau to life.
Assessment as Learning
Students will work collaboratively
to use drama conventions of
mime, characterization and
tableau.
The ‘Living Tableau’ will become
animated in the presence of an
audience as characters discuss and
live through the issues which face
them.
The tableau can also answer
questions from the audience.
‘Mantle of the Expert’ is a drama
methodology created by Dorothy
Heathcote.
Students dramatically explore
a problem under investigation
through inquiry and imagined
experience.
