Crash Course Sociology #32: Gender Stratification Worksheet

Define the episode's core terms — gender, gender stratification, patriarchy, hegemonic masculinities, emphasized femininities and the glass ceiling

Explain how Title IX changed girls' high-school sports participation, college scholarship funding for women, and individual careers such as Sally Ride's

Account for the gender wage gap in terms of clustering in lower-paying "pink collar" work, less explicit forms of sexism, and time spent out of the workforce caring for children

Queue the linked episode before handing the sheet out — every item is written to be answered from the video, and the worksheet carries no reading passage of its own.

Assign the Word version for typed responses; each numbered item already has an empty lettered line beneath it for the student's answer.

Items 9 through 12 form a single Title IX block, so pausing the video at the end of that stretch gives a natural checkpoint before the wage-gap questions.

Sociological vocabulary — students define gender, gender stratification, patriarchy, hegemonic masculinities, emphasized femininities and the glass ceiling as the episode treats each term.

Video note-taking — students follow one linked episode and record answers to fifteen numbered questions in the order the material is presented.

Cause-and-effect explanation — the Title IX items ask students to trace a single 1972 law through school sports participation, scholarship funding and one astronaut's route into physics.
