Extra ideas:
1. Offer students to make a meme about their work. For example. Encourage them to
use vocabulary or grammar.
2. Or do the research and write an essay ‘How to stop stereotyping’.
3. If your student have a lot of stories about stereotypes at their workplace or about
their job itself, you can ask them to record a stand-up with voice messages.
4. There’s an interesting article for students with kids ‘How do we ensure we’re not
promoting or encouraging gender stereotypes?’.
