Hey!

The way I see it, gender stereotypes/expectations are quite similar to challenges/barriers because with stereotypes/expectations come challenges and barriers. What scenes do you plan to use for each theme? It also depends on which characters you would like to analyse because besides Billy (the obvious go to person), there's always Michael, Jackie and even Ms. Wilkinson herself.

There are other themes you may explore in Billy Elliot. This can include individual growth- can apply to these characters Billy, Tony and Michael. There's always the family dynamics within the Elliot family, as well as the Wilkinson family. There are more themes (quite similar to the discovery rubric) such as new experiences, attitudes, beliefs and new phases of life.

If there's anything you needed me to clarify, feel free to reply back to this thread.
