1. Take a few minutes and write a paragraph about what a typical day will be like after you graduate from college. After you've written your paragraph, pair up with a person of the opposite sex who has done the same thing. How are your "typical days" similar and how are they different? Talk about any stark differences between your descriptions that you think may be a result of either sex or gender. Do you have any explicit or implicit assumptions about the opposite sex in your day? What ways might those expectations shape how you develop work, personal, or family relationships? After you've completed this activity, read the article, "When Dreams Differ: Male-Female Relationships on Campuses" Chronicle of Higher Education, March 5, 1999, B7. In this article, author Barbara Kerr asked students to write about their "Perfect Future Fantasy Day" and compared the responses of men and women. How do your responses compare to those analyzed in the article?
   
   
2. Are there any statues or memorials celebrating the accomplishments of women on your campus or in the town where you live? Do a little research. You might start with the reference librarian or the director of Women's Studies. What conclusions about the role of women in the history of your campus or community can you draw based on your findings?
