Materials and Prep

• Notebook and pen for notes and reflections
• Access to a dictionary or online dictionary for spelling
• ASL resources (videos or websites) for learning relevant signs
• Health resources (articles or websites) for research
• Printed worksheets for logic puzzles and critical thinking exercises

Activities

• Reading and Discussion:

  Jordan will read a selected article about consent and relationships. After reading, he will summarize the main points and discuss why consent is important in all relationships.

• Spelling Challenge:

  Jordan will create a list of key vocabulary words related to sexual education (e.g., consent, anatomy, reproduction). He will practice spelling these words and use them in sentences.

• ASL Vocabulary:

  Jordan will learn and practice American Sign Language (ASL) signs related to sexual education, such as "safe," "no," and "yes." This will help him communicate important concepts in a different language.

• Life Skills Role-Play:

  Jordan will engage in role-play scenarios to practice communicating boundaries and consent in a safe environment. This will help him develop confidence in real-life situations.

• Critical Thinking Puzzles:

  Jordan will complete logic puzzles that involve ethical dilemmas related to relationships and consent. This will encourage him to think critically about real-world situations.

Talking Points

• "What does consent mean to you, and why is it important in any relationship?"
• "Can you think of a situation where someone might feel uncomfortable saying 'no'? How can we make it easier for them?"
• "Why is it important to understand the human body and reproduction, not just for health but for making informed choices?"
• "How can learning ASL help us communicate better about sensitive topics?"
• "Think about a time when you had to make a tough decision. How did you use critical thinking to come to your conclusion?"
