Miss Representation: You can't be what you can't see.

Hello everyone! 

This is an activity on a documentary called Miss Representation. The film exposes how mainstream media contribute to the under-representation of women in positions of power and influence in the United States.
It is very interesting to watch this documentary with teenagers and young adults as a way to raise awareness on this topic.
Even if the documentary deals with this issue in the USA, you can create another speaking activity in which the students have to analyse the topic by discussing how women are depicted in their own countries.

 
The questions are targeted to advanced students of English. You will also find an exercise on vocabulary items and expressions mentioned in the documentary.

You can download the worksheet from here and the vocabulary exercise from here.

Enjoy!
