I liked how Professor Miyake displayed male and female writings alongside each other and had us look for clues about the gender of the author and discuss the implications. It’s an interesting way to learn about early writing in Heian and Kamajura periods and about the gendered roles of men and women. And there’s so many ways to go with instruction. I’d like to use this strategy in my English class. Right now, students at the high school level are interested in discussing gender issues.
