DUE: 12 JANUARY 2024
, SECTION A: Short Paragraph Questions (60 marks)
Question 1
1A
In your own words
1 In one sentence DEFINE what a STEREOTYPE is.
A stereotype is a widely held but oversimplified and generalized belief or idea about a
particular group of people or things
2. IDENTIFY one of the stereotypes reflected in in the particular story below: How
Dreams Are Made and Ended
The stereotype reflected in the story is the gender stereotype that suggests certain
professions or aspirations are more suitable for boys than girls, as seen in Kayla's
parents' response to her desire to become a doctor
3.EXPLAIN why the Stereotype you have chosen is important in the story: How
Dreams Are Made and Ended.
The gender stereotype in the story, where Kayla's parents dismiss her aspiration to
become a doctor by saying she's not smart enough, is important as it highlights the
impact of societal expectations on children's dreams and self-esteem. This stereotype
reinforces the notion that certain professions are more suitable for one gender over the
other, potentially limiting opportunities and perpetuating unequal expectations. The story
illustrates how such stereotypes can affect a child's confidence and willingness to pursue
their aspirations, emphasizing the importance of challenging and breaking down these
limiting beliefs for the well-rounded development of individuals.
1B
In your own words and in two paragraphs ONLY:
1. Explain TWO reasons why it is important that teachers avoid STEREOTYPES
In the classroom.
Remember to refer to your study guide.
Teachers play a crucial role in creating a positive and inclusive learning environment. By
avoiding stereotypes, they ensure that all students feel valued and have equal
opportunities to explore their interests and talents. Stereotypes can reinforce biases
related to gender, race, or other characteristics, leading to an unequal distribution of
attention and resources in the classroom. Teachers who actively work against
stereotypes contribute to a more equitable education system where students are
