Unit 2
Essential Question: How can an language, gender, and culture be influenced
by authors, society, and itself.
Quickwrite 1: One or two generations ago, men and women seemed to have firmer codes for how
to behave: men could be loud and assertive, but women were expected to dress modestly and to
use a feminine voice. Do you think these rule for male and female behavior still hold true today?
Quickwrite 2: Families have their own rules for how male and female members should talk and
behave. Think back to the advice you have heard in your family or to the rules you have noticed
family members following. Describe the communication styles of talking and behaving for men
and women in your family.
Quickwrite 3: Although tennis fans seem to find it normal that male tennis players grunt when they
swing the racket forcefully, many sports journalists have complained that when female tennis
players grunt during a hard swing, it is distracting from the game. What do you suspect is behind
their objection? Explain your reasoning.
Quickwrite 4: How do American women typically speak in their conversations? Consider volume
and pitch of voice, choice of words, body posture, closeness of speakers, eye contact, use of
hands while speaking, and so on. Now consider the way American men typically speak.
