Article group post

The article group I am in is gender studies. The article I ended up reading is titled Boys and Literacy. The research in this article was conducted and compiled together in the 90’s into early 2000’s. The main points in the article were to describe and compare gender literacy. Boys apparently are always good at learning with shapes and visual literacy. Girls are always good at memorizing and will always be better at memorization in comparison to boys. This article is completely outdated and is categorizing gender when in reality people absorb information if they are interested in it. There needs to be an updated article that discusses students interests and learning methods not gender learning methods and strict practices that will never be broken. When I was reading the article I was basically being described as a male. Males always zone out, can’t memorize that well, and like looking at videos, and visual productions; and this only occurs in males. FALSE. My article group is leaning towards a presentation that basically proves these gender literacy opinions in this article are incorrect.
