Watch two episodes of children’s cartoons.  Try Nick Jr. or Disney Jr.  Conduct a gender analysis, making note of sex and gender images, activities, songs, words, color schemes, narratives, roles of characters, and framing of who should watch the show.

Go to a store that has a toy section.  Look at the toys, making note of how they are arranged.  Are they gendered, directed at both sexes, male, or females?  Are prices the same?  Color schemes?  Messages and images on boxes.  Pictures and poses on boxes.  Action that characters are doing.  What skill will the child learn?  Are boy and girl toys teaching developmental skills at an equal level?

After conducting both of these research analysis and taking notes, write a 2-page analysis  of your findings.  Type up your notes and turn those in also.
