Students will form groups that will analyze scenarios related to Title IX issues. Allow each group to discuss the scenario and answer the questions about whom they side with in the dispute. Then come together as a class and share thoughts and common or differing opinions about the scenarios. After discussing the scenarios, students should think about and discuss the following questions: Is it just for a person to be removed from a position (player or coach) because she or he is complaining about gender discrimination? What would you have done if you were the people in the scenarios? Students will research a current event related to US government and politics. As part of the assignment students will fill out an analysis form, present their information to the class, and lead a class debate on the topic.
