Possible structure for our essay
-- could this be included in the conclusion as a brief suggestion of a solution? Basc.blue (discuss • contribs) 19:51, 8 December 2020 (UTC) --- yes, that was the idea! Undercoverfrench (discuss • contribs) 10:20, 11 December 2020 (UTC)
 * 1) Gender defined by Sociology
 * 2) Gender defined by Biology
 * 1) insisting on the differences between sex and gender
 * 2) talk about biological approach on gender (no distinction between sex and gender)
 * 3) Find a theory that brings two ideas together (biosocial approach on gender? The idea that both anatomy- biological (neurological differences) + social expectations affect behaviour )

Revised structure:
Intro w/ overview of case study (Christie Lee Cavazos)

1)Biological standpoint w/ critique of sociology

2)Sociological standpoint w/ critique of biology

Conclusion (maybe w/ biosocial definition)


 * critiques don't have to be too long... we won't have enough space otherwise Undercoverfrench (discuss • contribs) 10:26, 11 December 2020 (UTC)

Question ?

 * Should we talk about the sociological approach on sex or not? Undercoverfrench (discuss • contribs)
 * Should we talk about how the body defines gender? Undercoverfrench (discuss • contribs)
 * How do we narrow down all of the information we have??

Ideas
-I think this could be an engaging way to introduce our subject, and could help us structure the chapter as 'solving an issue' or 'answering a questions' rather than just laying out different facts. AurelieJane (discuss • contribs)
 * Should we talk about the case study in the introduction? To introduce our subject, and show where the conflict occurs? Undercoverfrench (discuss • contribs)

- This does sound like a really good way of illustrating it effectivelyBasc.blue (discuss • contribs) 17:40, 6 December 2020 (UTC) - I've just written the intro in this day if someone could review it for me :) Basc.blue (discuss • contribs) 19:52, 8 December 2020 (UTC)
 * At the end of each section (gender defined by sociology / gender defined by biology), we should add critiques of these perspectives Undercoverfrench (discuss • contribs)
 * Always make a short conclusion/sentence at the end of each paragraph referring to our subject (truth) Undercoverfrench (discuss • contribs)

- This would have been a great idea, but I don't think we have enough space to do that... Undercoverfrench (discuss • contribs)
 * At the end of each section should we also find a way to link it to the case study (Christie Lee Cavazos) we introduced at the beginning?--Ivoryallen (discuss • contribs) 12:54, 7 December 2020 (UTC)
