The Seven Areas of Representation (12X)

In pairs prepare a handout on one of the seven areas of representation that you need to cover this year. The seven areas are:

1. Gender
2. Regional Identity
3. Class and Status
4. Sexuality
5. Age
6. Disability and Ability
7. Ethnicity

All seven areas must be covered by the class. There are fourteen of you so it's one area per pair. Please leave a comment in the box below or tweet @luttmedia which area you are covering.


Handouts must be at least 2 sides long and include the following:

• A definition of the area.
• An explanation of the stereotypes associated with the area of representation.
• A selection of TV dramas that include the stereotype
• Analysis of how the stereotypes are represented
• Images from the TV dramas you use that illustrate your points.
• Issues or problems that arise from the representation or the stereotype involved.

I've added a few resources in the posts below to help with ethnicity, disability and common stereotypes.
