, ENG1516ASSIGNMENT 01: Introducing Children’s Literature
QUESTION 1
1.1. Name one type of stereotyping that can be found in older books. (1)
One type of stereotyping that can be found in older books is gender stereotyping. Gender
stereotyping refers to the portrayal of characters or the assignment of certain
characteristics or roles based on their gender, reinforcing traditional gender norms and
expectations.
An example of gender stereotyping in older books can be seen in the assignment's
prescribed textbook, "Introducing Children’s Literature: A Guide to the South African
Classroom" by Evans et al. (2017). This textbook explores children's literature and its role
in the South African classroom. Within the pages specified in the assignment, there may
be instances where male and female characters are depicted in traditional gender roles,
reinforcing stereotypes such as boys being adventurous and strong, while girls are
portrayed as nurturing and passive.
1.2. Briefly explain in no more than two sentences, why it is important for a Foundation
Phase teacher to examine their beliefs and assumptions. (2)
It is important for a Foundation Phase teacher to examine their beliefs and assumptions
because their beliefs and assumptions can influence their teaching practices and
interactions with students, which can impact the students' learning experiences (Evans, et
al., 2017, p. 223).
Furthermore, examining beliefs and assumptions can help the teacher to be aware of any
biases or prejudices they may hold, and to ensure that their teaching is inclusive and
equitable for all students (Evans, et al., 2017, p. 224).

2.1. Name one characteristic of a play that is present in the text above. (1)
One characteristic of the play present in the text above is dialogue, as evidenced by the
conversation between Punch and Judy. This can be seen in the lines spoken by Judy and
Punch, as they engage in conversation and interact with each other through their words.
