Gender In Fight Club

Now that you have learnt all about gender in Fight Club you need to complete all the worksheets that relate to gender and masculinity in your Fight Club booklet (it is included somewhere below.....).  You should be reading the article on pages 3 - 6 (and answering the question) as homework for Ms Gillies but there are several worksheets to complete as well!  They will get you to look at the film from a range of viewpoints connected to the Gender Context/Critical Approach.  You need to think about how useful this approach is in terms of helping you to understand the film and its messages. You may need to re watch key scenes again.
