Breaking Gender Stereotypes in the Work Force

# data[].attributes.body
Both books break stereotypes of gender roles in the work force. This book is a great book to show students that males and females can both be presidents and engineers. Gender doesn't qualify you for a job, your hard work, persistence, and dedication does. My chosen texts helps us understand the theme in a deeper way by proving to students that girls can do the things we often only see boys doing. In both texts we see the females succeeding, which is an essential part of the theme female roles.

Rosie Revere Engineer connects to the theme of female roles through the idea of breaking gender stereotypes. When people think of a scientist or engineers they automatically picture a male. In my science class for education majors I had to draw a picture of a scientist. I was guilty of stereotyping by drawing a male scientist. Rosie helps readers recognize that females are engineers too. Rosie built fun things throughout the story. She shows readers that girls are just as capable of inventing things as boys. This is a great book to show students in science class. This book will break stereotypes and prove that engineers can also girls. This book helps us understand the theme in a more meaningful way by showing the reader that girls can be successful scientist. Often times in children's literature we see stereotypical books that reinforce gender stereotypes. This book breaks gender stereotypes and shows readers the importance of female roles in children's literature.

Grace for President connects to the theme of female roles through the idea of breaking gender stereotypes.

They can do the same work that males can do to build their campaign. Grace even shows the reader that her hard work pays off when she becomes her class president.

In Rosie Revere Engineer I related to Rosie. I often times get frustrated when I'm doing something and give up. I eventually come back to it when I have calmed down and I finish it. For example, last weekend I was trying to put together a three drawer dresser I had bought. I tried three different times and couldn't get the last drawer to go in straight. I came back to it this week and ended up getting it right away. At the time I was so frustrated, but eventually I was able to get it all put together. Rosie had a similar situation when she was ready to quit building things and her aunt convinced her to keep working. Hard work really does pay off. I had the best feeling of accomplishment when I finally finished putting the dresser together!

Rosie decided to build a heli-o-cheese-copter for her aunt. Rosie immediately felt like giving up on building things when it crashed to the ground. Rosie's aunt was so proud that it actually flew. She encouraged Rosie to build it again and said, "The only true failure can come if you quit". Rosie built it again and brought it to school.

Working hard in a relationship and not giving up can lead to getting married and starting a family. Working hard in school leads to good grades and a sense of pride. Working hard at job even when it's tough often times leads to getting raises. Most importantly, being persistent and giving all your effort leads to the feeling of accomplishment.

In Grace for President I related to Grace. I am the type of person that often times puts too much effort into things. I do crafts and projects that take me twice as long as they should because I want them to be perfect. I gain a sense of pride when I work hard and don't give up. In the story Grace gave all her effort and hard work towards a campaign to become class president. This summer we got a new kid in my classroom at the daycare. I worked so hard to try to get this kid to open up and make friends in the room. I tried putting him in groups so he could meet different kids. I tried letting him pick his group. I tried sitting him at a table with all boys. Finally, halfway through the summer we went to the splash pad and he asked one of the boys in my room to play with him. Ever since that day the two boys have been inseparable. I worked hard and did not give up, which in the end definitely paid off. Grace had a similar success story when she worked hard to become class president.

In She Persisted thirteen women's stories are shared. Each of these stories expresses how their hard work and persistence made a huge impact. Harriet Tubman risked her own life to lead slaves to freedom. Without Tubman's hard work many slaves would not have been freed and lead to safety. Claudette Colvin took a stand by refusing to give her seat on the bus to a white women. She fought for her rights as an African American. Colvin's hard work lead to Rosa Park's refusal to get up, which later lead to the Civil Rights Movement. Without this persistence we may not have equal rights like we have today.
