, QUESTION 1
1.1. One type of stereotyping that can be found in older books is gender stereotyping,
where traditional gender roles and ideas are reinforced through the characters and
content of the books.
1.2. It is important for a Foundation Phase teacher to examine their beliefs and
assumptions because these beliefs can unconsciously influence their teaching methods
and interactions with students, potentially perpetuating stereotypes or biases. By
examining their beliefs, teachers can ensure they create an inclusive and equitable
learning environment for all students.
QUESTION 2
2.1. One characteristic of a play present in the text above is dialogue, as the excerpt
contains conversations between the characters Judy and Punch.
2.2. Two values represented in the text above are cruelty and violence, as demonstrated
through Punch's actions towards Judy.
2.3. The text above, an excerpt from "The Tragical Comedy, or Comical Tragedy, of Punch
and Judy," is not appropriate for a Foundation Phase class. This text contains themes of
domestic violence and cruelty, which are not suitable for young children. Foundation
Phase learners are at a sensitive age where they are still developing their understanding
of appropriate behavior and relationships. Exposing them to such explicit violence and
cruelty could be harmful and confusing for them. Instead, texts chosen for Foundation
Phase classes should promote positive values, kindness, and empathy, and should be
age-appropriate in content and theme.
