2. Analyze two to four (2-4) implications that social class has on schooling, and determine a method of handling these implications in the lesson you have created.
3. Develop three to four (3-4) instructional strategies that avoid the seven (7) forms of gender bias in the lesson you have created.  
4. Construct a method of conceptualizing and implementing the lesson you have created in terms of diverse population groups with your students.
