Sexuality & Responsibility Consent Form (Grades 9-12)

Dear Parent/Guardian,

Your child has the opportunity to participate in the Sexual Health curriculum through their
Health class. The curriculum content is age appropriate and scientifically accurate. The teaching
of human sexuality is covered under Board Policy EHAA (Legal) and (Local). A preview copy
of the curriculum can be found in your campus library. You may also view these lessons at the
AISD Health and Physical Education office. The High School Health curriculum includes the
following topics:

Male and Female Reproductive Anatomy


Male and Female Reproductive Systems
Reproduction and Heredity
Benefits of Abstinence
Contraception
The Attorney General’s Office P.A.P.A. Curriculum
o Establishing Paternity
o Single Parenting
o The Cost of Parenting
STDs
HIV/AIDS

This experience will be most valuable for students if they have the opportunity to share what
they have learned with their families. I encourage you to engage in discussion around these
topics with your child

If you do not want your child to participate in the Sexual Health portion of the high school
Health class you must sign and date below and return to your child’s Health educator.

Unit 7 Lesson 27

SESSION 9: CHOOSING HEALTHY RELATIONSHIPS


INTRODUCTION

In an earlier session, you learned about parenting as a team. You saw what happens when parents separate
and allow bad feelings about their relationship to affect their child. However, when parents recognize they
share the goal of raising a healthy and happy child, they can learn to communicate and cooperate as a team.
In this session, you’ll do some thinking about relationships.

You’ve experienced many kinds of relationships in your life – friendships, family relationships, teacher-stu-
dent relationships, and so on. When it comes to romantic relationships, there’s probably tremendous varia-
tion among you and your peers. Some people have been dating for a while, while others haven’t even thought
about it.

It’s normal for people to have had different levels of experience with romantic relationships. Each person is
an individual with different interests, personalities, families and cultural backgrounds.

Regardless of your personal experience, working through this section of the student workbook will increase
your awareness of what’s involved in creating healthy relationships. It will also help you be more aware of
things that are important to you. This is information you might be able to apply in your life right now…or you
might store it away and put it to use later.

What makes a relationship healthy? Think over all the relationships you’ve read about in this program. Which
of those relationships were healthy? What are the factors to consider when determining if a relationship is
healthy or not?

ACTIVITY: The Relation-SHIP


Imagine that a relationship is like a ship floating on waves and rough waters. What are the characteristics
in the relation-SHIP that would keep it afloat? For example, mutual trust is very important. Each person in a
relation-SHIP must trust the other to do what he or she says, to be honest, and to maintain confidences. Trust
is something that’s earned. You have to find out over time if a person is trustworthy. And it must be mutual –
meaning it must go both ways. You must be trustworthy and your partner must be trustworthy.

Mutual trust is already on the list below. List other characteristics that would help keep a relation-SHIP afloat:

1. Mutual Trust 5.

2. 6.

3. 7.

4. 8.

Now that you’ve written your list, consider the following. How do the two lists compare?

ACTIVITY: The Relation-SHIP Continued

CHARACTERISTICS OF HEALTHY DATING RELATIONSHIPS

*'K^li^\m'This starts with respecting yourself and knowing your own worth. It also means accepting each
other’s opinions, values, limits, need for individual time, and so on.

+'>jnZebmr'This is at the center of a healthy dating relationship. Power is balanced in the relationship.
Neither person has unfair advantage over the other due to age, power or maturity. During the teen years
when one partner is three or more years older, the relationship is often unequal.

,'Hi^g<hffngb\Zmbhg'Communication is good. Both people talk and listen. It’s important to be able to say
what you’re really thinking and feeling – to be open, clear and honest.

-'Ahg^lmrZg]:\\hngmZ[bebmr'Telling each other the truth, keeping your word, being faithful, and being able
to admit when you’re wrong increases trust.

.'MknlmZg]Lniihkm'Trust must be strong and both partners must feel safe. You learn to trust by observing
over time and in different situations that you can depend on someone. It takes time to build trust. You should
want the best for each other and offer encouragement when needed.

/'G^`hmbZmbhgZg]<hg×b\mFZgZ`^f^gm' People who are dating recognize when they have conflict and
manage it without violence. Managing conflict is a skill you can learn and practice. Communication is
especially important when there is a conflict. Listen to each other, respect differences, compromise, talk
about past disagreements and figure out what to do differently in the future.

0'LaZk^]K^lihglb[bebmr'People who are dating make decisions together and have give and take in the
relationship. They share the costs of hanging out and having fun together and do things that are enjoyable for
both people. Relationships should be mutual, not one-sided.

1'?kb^g]labi%:]fbkZmbhgZg]:__^\mbhg' Friendship is the basis of the relationship. The person you’re dating
should be someone you like, admire and respect. Never try to change your boyfriend or girlfriend or to be
someone that you’re not. Spend time enjoying similar interests and keep the friendship alive.

ACTIVITY: The Relation-SHIP Continued

Now rate the following list of relationship characteristics using a scale from 1 to 5 (with 1 = Not Important
and 5 = Very Important). Place a number in the right hand column beside each characteristic to indicate how
important you think it is for developing and maintaining a healthy dating relationship.

Not at all Important Very Important

1 2 3 4 5

Relationship Characteristic Level of Importance Rating


Mutual trust
Partners close in age
Partners have equal say in decisions/control of relationship
Open and honest communication
Similar values
Love and affection
Conflict is managed well
Non-violent
Have fun together – are friends
Give each other space and freedom
Mutual respect
Friends and family support the relationship

Think about different kinds of relationships and how your criteria for a boyfriend or girlfriend might change
as relationships get more serious.

ACTIVITY: Your Personal Relationship Continuum


CASUAL RELATIONSHIPS

Casual relationships might include phone, text or online relationships, “group dating”, or non-exclusive one-
on-one dating. If you were going out casually with someone, are there any character traits that the person
must have? Are there any qualities that the person might have that would be totally unacceptable to you? We’ll
call those your “non-negotiables.” List them here.

MUST haves:

MUST NOT haves:

SERIOUS RELATIONSHIPS

In serious relationships, couples have typically been dating on a regular basis over a long period of time;
they’ve often made a commitment to be exclusive; and the relationship is probably seen by both families as a
committed relationship. What are non-negotiable qualities a serious boyfriend or girlfriend must have?

MARRIAGE

Marriage is a legal relationship that’s designed to be “for the rest of your life.” Couples agree to a perma-
nent commitment; often there’s an engagement; usually a legal ceremony is planned; couples live together
and often raise a family together. What are your non-negotiables for a spouse?

ACTIVITY: Your Personal Relationship Continuum Continued

Questions to Consider

 What characteristics become more important to you as a relationship becomes more serious?

 What are the big differences between someone you would go out with casually and someone you
would have a child with?

 What can you do to make sure you don’t end up sharing parenthood with someone you’re just going
out with on a casual basis?

Relationship experts say that commitment and faithfulness are important in a marriage.

Do an Internet search to find out what research says about the impact of commitment and faithfulness on
marriage. Provide a short summary below.

Commitment:

Faithfulness:

BUILDING RELATIONSHIP SKILLS

Marriage and family therapists tell us that many marriages and committed relationships break up because
couples don’t know how to communicate effectively and don’t know how to manage conflicts.

The good news is that communication and conflict resolution are skills that can be learned and practiced. By
working together, a couple can learn the relationship skills to build and maintain a healthy relationship.

You don’t need to be in a romantic relationship to work on your communication or conflict resolution skills.
Being able to communicate and work out conflicts respectfully will help you at home, with friends, at school
and on the job.

RESPECT
WHAT IS RESPECT AND WHY IS IT 
IMPORTANT?
What is RESPECT?

Treating people in a positive manner that acknowledges them for 
who they are and/or what they are doing.

Why is RESPECT important?

Being respectful towards people is key in order to form and 
maintain positive relationships.  

If you treat others with respect the expectation is that they will be 
respectful back.
What does RESPECT look like?
To treat people in the manner in which you expect to be treated.
Appreciating each others points of view.
To show consideration for another person’s feelings and interests.
Accepting people as they are.

What does RESPECT not look like?
Dumping on someone because you’re having a bad day.
Dissing people because they’re different from you.
Gossiping about people or spreading rumors.
What are RESPECTFUL INTERACTIONS?
Most people learn basic social guidelines for respect as 
children.  Parents directions to play nice, share with others, say 
please, thank you and you’re welcome lay the foundation for 
respectful interactions with other’s in life.

Respectful interactions do not draw undue or negative 
attention to a person’s difference or disability

If we sense we are not being respected we stop engaging and 
our sense of self worth collapses or we become angry.
EMPATHY
WHAT IS EMPATHY AND HOW IS IT 
RELATED TO RESPECT?
What is EMPATHY?

The awareness of the feelings and emotions of other people.

Why is EMPATHY important?

Empathy helps us to communicate our ideas in a way that makes sense to 
others, and it helps us understand others when they communicate with us.

Listening and empathy are the foundation for healthy, effective 
communication because they help us understand other people before we 
judge them.
Why is it important to be EMPATHIC?
You will be more likely to treat the people you care about the way they 
wish you would treat them.
You will better understand the needs of people around you.
You will be able to deal better with interpersonal conflict with others.
It could help you motivate the people around you.
You could find it easier to deal with the negativity of others if you can 
better understand their motivations and fears.
It could help you be a better leader, better follower and most important a 
better friend.
An empathic connection to someone adds depth to our understanding of 
them.
How are EMPATHY and RESPECT related?
Empathy builds acceptance and appreciation for differences.  It 
motivates us to use caring words and acitons toward others 
even when we do not agree with them.

These skills and capacities make us less likely to argue and 
more likely to respond with understanding and respect in 
situations where there are contrasting values, beliefs and 
opinions.

Empathy begins with self respect.


SELF RESPECT
WHAT IS SELF RESPECT AND WHY IS IT 
IMPORTANT?
What is SELF‐RESPECT?

Self respect is an individuals overall feeling if his/her own worth.  You hold 
yourself to your own stndards and try not to worry too much about what 
other people think of you.

Self esteem is another word for self respect.

Why is SELF‐RESPECT important?

Self respect is the most important thing we either have or don’t have 
because if forms the foundation of how we treat others and how we allow 
others to treat us.  Without self respect, it’s difficult to have confidence and 
integrity.
How do we get SELF‐RESPECT?
Accepting yourself
Determine your values
Choose your priorities
Don’t let others treat you with disrespect
Take care of your body.  When you feel better physically it will make you 
feel better in all areas of your health
Positive thinking and a positive mindset
Be willing to change, not to please others but to better yourself
Set boundaries and don’t let others try to change your mind.
SETTING 
BOUNDARIES
HOW DO WE SET BOUNDARIES?
How do we set BOUNDARIES?

Knowing what our values and 
priorities are is the first step in 
setting our boundaries. 

Verbalizing to others what you 
want or don’t want is how we set
those boundaries.
What does it look like when you don’t set boundaries?

People take advantage of us.

People who take advantage of us                                        
have little or no respect for us.

What happens when we don’t 
feel respected?
What happens when we don’t feel respected?
If we sense we are not being respected...

1. Our sense of self worth or self respect collapses.

2. We become angry

3. We shut down, isolate ourselves from others,
stop doing the things that we love.
INCONSIDERATE BEHAVIOR
When you’re considerate and respectful, you’re polite and 
thoughtful.  You consider other peoples feelings.

The opposite of being considerate is being inconsiderate.

Inconsiderate behavior is often rude and selfish.

What are some examples of inconsiderate behavior?

What could the results be of continuous inconsiderate behavior?
INCONSIDERATE BEHAVIOR could lead to...
VIOLENCE – a physical force that is used to harm people or damage 
property.

BULLYING – aggressive behavior intended to hurt, control, imtimidate or 
humiliate another person.

CYBERBULLYING – bullying that involves using the internet, interactive and 
digital technologies like cell phones or other electronic devices.

SEXUAL HARASSMENT – unwlecome sexual advances, requests for sexual 
favors and other verbal or physical behaviors of sexual nature.

Support: a belief that a relationship includes building up the other person’s confidence and
strengths. This could include encouraging another person to make healthy decisions to
better themselves, even when the other person may not totally agree. Respect: a belief
that another person has value and is appreciated and recognized for their ideas, thoughts,
and decisions. This could include the use of positive or supportive words to describe the

Unit 7 Lesson 27

A TEEN’S GUIDE
TO SAFETY PLANNING
WHY DO I NEED A SAFETY PLAN?
Everyone deserves a relationship that is healthy, safe and supportive. If you are in a
relationship that is hurting you, it is important for you to know that the abuse is not your
fault. It is also important for you to start thinking of ways to keep yourself safe from the
abuse, whether you decide to end the relationship or not. While you can’t control your
partner’s abusive behavior, you can take action to keep yourself as safe as possible.

WHAT IS A SAFETY PLAN?


A safety plan is a practical guide that helps lower your risk of being hurt by your
abuser. It includes information specific to you and your life that will help keep you safe.
A good safety plan helps you think through lifestyle changes that will help keep you as
safe as possible at school, at home and other places that you go on a daily basis.

HOW DO I MAKE A SAFETY PLAN?


Take some time for yourself to go through each section of this safety planning
workbook. You can complete the workbook on your own, or you can work through it
with a friend or an adult you trust.

Keep in Mind:
In order for this safety plan to work for you, you’ll need to fill in
personalized answers, so you can use the information when you most need it.
Once you complete your safety plan, be sure to keep it in an
accessible but secure location. You might also consider giving a copy of your
safety plan to someone that you trust.
Getting support from someone who has experience working with teens in abusive
relationships can be very useful.

MY SAFETY WORKBOOK - PAGE 3


These are things I can do to help keep myself safe everyday:
I will carry my cell phone and important telephone numbers with me at all times.
I will keep in touch with someone I trust about where I am or what I am doing.
I will stay out of isolated places and try to never walk around alone.
I will avoid places where my abuser or his/her friends and family are likely to be.
I will keep the doors and windows locked when I am at home, especially if I am alone.
I will avoid speaking to my abuser. If it is unavoidable, I will make sure there are people around in
case the situation becomes dangerous.
I will call 911 if I feel my safety is at risk.
I can look into getting a protective order so that I’ll have legal support in keeping my abuser away.
I will remember that the abuse is not my fault and that I deserve a safe and healthy relationship.

These are things I can do to help keep myself safe in my social life:
I will ask my friends to keep their cell phones with them while they are with me in case we get
separated and I need help.
If possible, I will go to different malls, banks, grocery stores, movie theaters, etc. than the ones my
abuser goes to or knows about.
I will not go out alone, especially at night.
No matter where I go, I will be aware of how to leave safely in case of an emergency.
I will leave if I feel uncomfortable in a situation, no matter what my friends are doing.
I will spend time with people who make me feel safe, supported and good about myself.

These are things I can do to stay safe online and with my cell phone:
I will not say or do anything online that I wouldn’t in person.
I will set all my online profiles to be as private as they can be.
I will save and keep track of any abusive, threatening or harassing comments, posts, or texts.
I will never give my password to anyone other than my parents or guardians.
If the abuse and harassment does not stop, I will change my usernames, email addresses, and/or
cell phone number.
I will not answer calls from unknown, blocked or private numbers.
I can see if my phone company can block my abuser’s phone number from calling my phone.
I will not communicate with my abuser using any type of technology if unnecessary, since any form
of communication can be recorded and possibly used against me in the future.

Class Activity: Relationship Drama 

Maria Wears My Jacket 
1. (Note: As you begin this activity, ask 10 students if they would assist you later by reading something
aloud.) Give each of them one relationship violence statistic from the teacher resource. Let them know
that you will call on them when it is time for them to read the statistic.

2. Relationship abuse and violence is a sensitive issue. Set the stage for a safe and comfortable
discussion by making the following points:

We are going to examine issues of relationship abuse and violence.


It's extremely likely that someone you know has experienced violence in a romantic or intimate
relationship such as dating (casual or long term), marriage or living together.
Relationship violence refers to any hurtful or unwanted act inflicted on a partner with the
intention, either real or perceived, of causing pain or injury. The abuse can be physical, verbal,
emotional/psychological, financial or sexual.
Violence or abuse in relationships is most often a pattern of choices that one partner makes to
exert power and control over the other partner.
Perpetrators and victims may be women or men, and abuse can happen in all kinds of
relationships. Abuse that leads to serious injury is most often, but not always, done to women
by men.
Please be especially sensitive as you honor our ground rules for today's discussion.

3. Tell students that you want to read them a poem that will dramatize the issues in a troubled
relationship. Distribute the handout, Maria Wears My Jacket, and read it.

4. Have students with statistics 1 5 take turns reading the information aloud to the class.

5. Ask for any general reactions. Then, use the following questions to get students to analyze the poem:

What's your reaction to this relationship? How common do you think this is?
What does the jacket seem to symbolize for each person in the poem? (Make a comparison
between wearing a partner's jacket and wearing an engagement or wedding ring.)
Why do you think Maria's boyfriend insists that she wear his jacket all the time?
What do you think it means to Maria when she doesn't wear her boyfriend's jacket?
In line 5, Maria's boyfriend says,"And my friends all know it too." What message is he trying to
send to his friends? Why do you think this is important to him?
Why do you think he got so angry when he saw Maria without his jacket? Why do you think he
treats Maria this way?
If you were Maria's best friend and you heard her boyfriend call her a liar and a fake, what
would you say or do?

WHEEL OF LIFE PROJECT DESCRIPTION


OVERVIEW The Wheel of Life project is designed as a strategy to help students develop some financial
management skills as they learn about paternity and parenting. The goal is to have them learn how to create
and adapt a monthly budget based on changing life circumstances.
There’s a lot of flexibility with the project. You can make this a smaller exercise that you implement only
during Sessions 4 and 5 of the formal program, or you can implement it as a larger project where students
do independent research and continue to revise their budgets through Session 6.
Below are steps for conducting the activity in three parts as a multi-session project. If you don’t have enough
time or want to simplify the project, see the “Suggestions for Simplifying” listed in each part.
Each part of the project is coordinated to specific p.a.p.a. sessions.

PART I Salaries and Budgets (p.a.p.a. Session 4: The Cost of Parenting)


To start, students must be assigned a career and salary. At this first stage, the students are all single, living
independently of parents, without children. You can have them identify their careers by spinning the wheel or
by drawing a numbered card out of a bag.

3 Plumber $40,801 8 Police Patrol Officer $50,512

4 Waiter/Food Server $21,435 9 Attorney $85,669


National Salary Averages from www.salary.com, 2/13

Once the students know their careers and salaries, they need to create a budget that is appropriate for their
salary. You will need to review the basics of setting up a budget. Once the students understand how to create
a basic budget, they will need to fill in the income and expenses on their individual monthly budget.
We have provided a Budget Information handout with some basic information about the typical costs of
different living expenses. To keep the project simple, distribute these handouts and ask students to create
their budgets based solely on this information.
Alternatively, you can give students the various categories of living expenses and ask them to research the
real costs of these expenses in their city or county.

session 4 teacher resource 2 p.a.p.a. parenting and paternity awareness 2013


Unit 7 Lesson 27

WHEEL OF LIFE PROJECT DESCRIPTION Part 1 Continued

The “must-have” expenses that students should include in their budgets are:
a) Housing (apartment or house)
b) Utilities (electric, gas, water)
c) Transportation (bus or car, gas and insurance)
d) Savings
e) Food (groceries and food for daily living)
f) Cell phone
g) Insurance (homeowners or renters; health covered by employer)

“Want-to” expenses might include:


a) Entertainment/recreation (eating out, movies, videos, events, concerts, etc.)
b) Additional clothing
c) Spending money
d) Cable (type of package)
e) Vacations
f) Other things you might need or enjoy that you can afford based on income

Suggestions for Simplifying


 Instead of assigning a different career and income to each student, have them all calculate a budget for
someone with a minimum wage job. Distribute the handout of the completed budget we’ve provided. This
person has chosen to live in a studio apartment, use public transportation, save $25 per month, and buy
a basic cell phone and basic cable. Get students’ reactions by asking: What do you think life would be like
with this budget? This person chose a basic cell phone and basic cable – what would you have chosen?
 For Session 5, have all students figure out what would happen to their budget if they became a custodial
parent and began receiving child support from someone who had a minimum wage job (or what would
happen if they became a noncustodial parent and had to pay child support based on their current
income).

WHEEL OF LIFE PROJECT DESCRIPTION Part 2

PART II Family Situations (p.a.p.a. Session 5: Child Support)


In this part of the project, students will be assigned a family situation that affects their budget. Many, but not
all, of them will have children. Some will have to pay child support. Some will receive child support. Others
will be owed child support but not receive it. The issues that will result from these new family situations are
very relevant to Session 5. You can have students take turns discussing their new family situation and its
impact on their budget. The goal is to have students experience what it might feel like to be in these different
parenting situations, and to reflect on how these simulated experiences might impact future decisions.

WHEEL OF LIFE SPINS

0 You and your partner have a son. You become the noncustodial parent and pay child support to your
son’s custodial parent.

1 You and your partner have a daughter. You become your daughter’s custodial parent and receive child
support from her noncustodial parent. Because the noncustodial parent has a full-time minimum wage
job, the amount of the child support payment is $222 and medical support is $25 each month.

2 You and your partner decide to get married. You don’t have a baby now but plan to have one in the next
two years. Your new spouse is going to school full time and makes $500 each month working as a server
in a restaurant while taking classes. You gain an additional salary of $1,698 per month and are paying
$1,000 each month in tuition, books and fees.

3 You and your partner have a son and decide to get married. Your new spouse is going to school full time
and makes $500 each month working as a server in a restaurant while taking classes. You gain an addi-
tional salary of $1,698 per month and pay $1,000 each month in tuition fees. You’re happy because you
got all of the one-time purchases you needed for the baby at a baby shower. However, the baby will need
full-time daycare, in addition to all of the other monthly baby expenses (diapers, etc.).

4 You become the noncustodial parent to twins and pay child support to their custodial parent. The
amount of the child support is 25 percent of your net monthly income. In addition to child support, medi-
cal insurance for the twins costs $280 each month.

5 You become the custodial parent to twins and receive child support from their noncustodial parent. The
noncustodial parent earns a gross income of $1,500 per month, so the child support will total $328.

6 You become the custodial parent of a 2-year-old boy and don’t receive any child support from the other
parent. You also lost your job so you apply for TANF and get a grant of $228 per month. You can also get
Medicaid and $367 per month in food stamps. You can no longer afford your apartment, so you move in
with a parent or relative. You still have monthly expenses for you and your son.

WHEEL OF LIFE PROJECT DESCRIPTION Part 2 Continued

7 You become the custodial parent of a baby girl. Your daughter was born last week and you need every-
thing: clothes, a stroller, crib, diapers, baby wipes, etc. You and the noncustodial parent don’t commu-
nicate anymore, and you don’t receive any child support. You will be taking two months of unpaid leave
from your job, so you won’t have any income for two months. When you start back to work, your grand-
mother will take care of the baby, but you will still have monthly baby expenses.

8 You became the noncustodial father of a little girl last year, and then become the noncustodial parent
of a little boy from a different woman this week. You will pay 20 percent of your net income to the little
girl’s custodial mother and 17 percent of net income to the little boy’s custodial mother. Additionally,
you’ll pay 5 percent of your income for medical support for the two children. Note: This situation has to
go to a male student.

9 You’re enjoying your single life and aren’t ready for a serious relationship or children at this time. So
you only have to worry about yourself as you continue to manage your budget.

Suggestions for Simplifying


 Eliminate some of the family situations. Instead of 10, have five different situations and have students pick
a number from 1 to 5.
 For Session 5, have all students figure out what would happen to their budget if they became a custodial
parent and began receiving child support from someone who had a minimum wage job (or what would
happen if they became a noncustodial parent and had to pay child support based on their current in-
come).
 In Session 6 of p.a.p.a., ask students to consider what would happen to their budgets if they became a
custodial parent and did not receive child support (or if they became a noncustodial parent and lost their
job and could not pay child support).

WHEEL OF LIFE PROJECT DESCRIPTION Part 3

PART III Fortune or Crisis (p.a.p.a. Session 6: Parents Who Don’t Pay)
In this part of the project, students spin or pick a number and receive a “fortune” or “crisis.” Again, they
must adjust their budget based on the fortune or crisis. You introduce Part III in Session 6 and have students
revise their budgets and discuss the financial impact of their fortune or crisis situations. Depending on the
amount of class time you can dedicate to the Wheel of Life, you can continue the discussion of the fortune or
crisis in the next session. The goal is to have students get a realistic sense of the financial impact when a
parent who owes child support does or doesn’t pay. They can also compare the financial impact of being a
single parent, being a married couple with children, being single without children, and so on.

WHEEL OF LIFE SPINS

0 Your boss tells you that your company is downsizing. You’re given a pink slip. You will no longer collect a
paycheck from your former company, but you can collect unemployment benefits, which are 25 percent
of your former salary. With the present economy, it takes three months to find another job at half your
original salary.

1 While texting and driving, you run a red light. You total your car and are taken to the emergency room.
Your medical bills are high. After payment by the health insurance company, you still owe the hospital
$500. The insurance deductible for your car is $1,000. You injured the other driver and caused major
damage to his vehicle. You received a $200 ticket for texting and driving and another $230 fine for
running the red light. Your insurance goes up an extra $75 each month. This scenario must go to a
student who has chosen to buy a car for transportation.

2 You receive Employee of the Year at work! Because of your work ethic and your dedication to the job,
you receive a $500 bonus and a 5 percent pay raise.

3 During the holiday season of November and December, you go a little crazy with your credit cards. You
maxed out one and owe quite a bit on another. You now have credit card payments each month that total
10 percent of your monthly salary.

4 You were having communication problems with your boss, so you decided to quit before getting another
job. You weren’t eligible for unemployment because you quit rather than got laid off. You’ve been looking
really hard but, so far, you haven’t found another job. The only income you have is from temp jobs that
you’ve been able to get. On average you’re earning around $200 per week.

5 While at home, you receive a certified letter from the postman. The letter informs you that you have just
received a $5,000 inheritance from a favorite uncle on your mother’s side of the family, and the cashier’s
check is enclosed with the letter! This isn’t a scam – no mail fraud here – it’s the real deal!

p.a.p.a. parenting and paternity awareness 2013

WHEEL OF LIFE PROJECT DESCRIPTION Part 3 Continued

6 Because you forgot to check your oil, your car needs major engine repair. Warranty won’t cover the cost,
so it will cost you $850. It will also take one week for the repair, but you still have to get to work. The
dealership won’t provide a rental car, and your friends all have a different work schedule, so they can’t
give you a ride. You have to catch the bus ($30 pass is most economical), rent a car ($352.65 for the
week), or buy a used bike to ride ($75). Note: This scenario must go to a student who has chosen to buy
a car for transportation.

7 Your company decides to cut costs by cutting back on how much the employer pays on the employee
health plan. An extra $250 will be taken out of your paycheck each month to pay for your health insur-
ance premium.

8 You lose your cell phone, which is a smartphone. You have insurance on the phone but it is still expen-
sive to replace. You can either buy another smartphone for $200 or a simple flip phone for $50.

9 Your parent gave you a scratch-off lottery ticket in your birthday card. When you scratched off the lottery
game, you won $1,000!

Suggestions for Simplifying


 Eliminate some of the fortune or crisis situations. Instead of 10, have six different situations and have
students pick a number from 1-6. Choose three fortune and three crisis situations. This will minimize time
spent processing the activity.
 Pick only one crisis situation, such as getting laid off, and ask all students to consider how that would
impact their budget given their family situation.

1. Introduce thextactivity by telling students that you want them to think about their
attitudes, feelings and values about responsible parenting, relationships and marriage.
This activity will also introduce the "listen for understanding" communication skill that
will be used throughout the following sessions. Go over instructions for the activity:

I will read several belief statements to you, one at a time.


Think about each statement and how you feel about it -- whether you agree with it or
disagree with it.
Imagine a line on the floor with four points on it -- strongly agree, agree, disagree and
strongly disagree (point to the positions on the line). (Note: If you like, you can actually
make signs to indicate the positions.)
Once you know how you feel about a statement, go stand in the position that best
describes your feelings.
When everyone is standing where they want to be, I will ask volunteers to share why they
have chosen to stand in a particular place.
When a volunteer is sharing his or her reasons for choosing his or her position the group
will use the "Listen for Understanding Ground Rules" (either distribute the Listen for
Understanding Ground Rules handout, or go over the posted rules with the students).

2. Offer the following additional ground rules:

There are no right or wrong answers, only opinions.


Go with what you really think. Don't worry about where your friends are moving on this
continuum. Avoid peer pressure.
Feel free to change positions if you gain a different perspective.

3. Read the first belief statement that you've selected from the Where Do You Stand?
statements. Have students move to their positions to indicate if they strongly agree, agree,
disagree or strongly disagree.

4. Beginning with the smallest group's viewpoint, ask for one or two volunteers to
explain to the group why they have chosen to stand where they are in response to the
statement. Provide support to students who express a less popular point of view. Also,
talk about any positions that don't get chosen. If students are having a hard time sticking

session 10: teacher resource WHERE DO YOU STAND?


STATEMENTS

1. Partners in a relationship should see and respect each other as equals.

2. Marriage is harder than parenthood.

3. In male/female relationships, guys should take the lead – they should do the
asking out and the paying.

4. If a couple gets divorced, it’s best if the child lives with the mother and
the father pays child support.

5. Both the woman and the man should contribute to the financial support
of their children.

6. It’s best for children if their parents are happily married and live in the same home.

7. There’s no such thing as a 50/50 relationship.

8. Age shouldn’t make a difference if two people love and care about each other.

9. I think it’s OK for a committed couple to live together rather than get married.

10. Commitment and marriage should come before parenthood.

11. A woman should always be able to take care of herself and never completely depend
on a partner to support her and the family.

12. Once you’re married you should stay married and not get a divorce.

In a healthy/caring relationship, all communication is respectful 
whether in person, online or by phone/text. 
DECISIONS 

Decisions about anything in a relationship is a BIG deal.

What are some of the decisions you may have to make 
when in a relationship?

Should all decisions in a relationship be made together?

Deciding on whether or not to have sex is a big decision... 
whose decision is it?
CONSENT

Giving permission for something to happen or an 
agreement to do something.

Consent must be:
Affirmative:  Yes means Yes, not just the absence of a no, and 
everyone has to agree.
Voluntary:  There’s no pressure and your partner is agreeing 
because it’s what they want to do.  Consent cannot be coerced.
Conscious:  the partner is mentally present and not drunk, high or 
passed out.
CONSENT continued...

Consent is not all or nothing.  You can say yes to some 
things and no to other things. Just because someone 
gives consent for 1 thing doesn’t mean they are signing 
up for everything.

Consent given for something once doesn’t mean 
consent is always given for the same thing.  Just because 
you have done it before doesn’t mean you have to do it 
again.

Consent can be withdrawn at anytime.  
This video gives us a clear example of consent.

Avoiding Hurtful Relationships

Abuse is a pattern of behaviors one person uses to gain 
and maintain power and control over their partner. 
Many people assume abuse means that physical 
violence is happening, but that’s not always the case! 

Abuse comes in many forms~ 
it’s not always physical!
Abusive Relationships

Abusive relationships are based on imbalance of 
power and control.

One person is making all the decisions 
ABUSIVE behaviors

T ON – about sexual choices, friends, 
B TN boundaries, and even what’s true and 
N T ON what’s not.  They spend all of their 
O T ON time together.  The person who is not 
in control feels like they can’t talk to 
other people, especially about what’s 
really happening in their relationship.
EMOTIONAL/VERBAL ABUSE

Verbal abuse may not cause physical damage, 
but it does cause emotional pain and scarring.

Threats Humiliation
Insults Intimidation
Constant monitoring  Isolation

Emotional/verbal abuse can also be 
perpetrated using technology.
DIGITAL ABUSE

What does digital abuse look like?
Controlling who you can be friends with on Facebook and other 
sites.
Being pressured to send explicit video or sexts.
Being pressured to share passwords on your accounts.
Looking through your phone frequently at pictures, texts and 
call history.
Being monitored using any kind of technology.

It is easy to be hurtful to other people when you’re 
not face to face.
SEXUAL ASSAULT
Refers to any action that pressures or coerces someone 
to do something sexually they don’t want to do.
Examples of sexual assault:
Unwanted kissing or touching
Threatening someone into unwanted sexual activity
Pressuring or forcing someone to have sex or perform sexual acts
Using sexual insults toward someone
Sexual contact with someone who is drunk, drugged, unconscious 
or otherwise unable to give a clear and informed consent.
Any sexual activity without consent is sexual assault
Sexual activity without consent is 
sexual assault!

If a friend tells you they have been assaulted:

Start by believing them.
Ask them what kind of support they want/need.
Focus your support on the friend or family member, 
not the abuser.
Connect them to community resources.
What would you do?

How easy is it to identify a healthy 
/hurtful relationship?

What would you do if a friend came to 
you concerned about a relationship you 
are in?

Unit 7 Lesson 2

In this activity, the participants will form two circles, one inside the other, with each
participant facing someone in the other circle. It's actually very simple, so just be sure
you have the concept well in mind before you try to explain it.

Materials
You will need a timer or watch with a second hand.
Have Teacher's Resource the Marriage Circle Questions ready.

Procedure
1. Explain that this session is about marriage and committed relationships. Tell
participants that the point is to give them an opportunity to explore their attitudes about
such relationships and to look at what possibilities, advantages and disadvantages such
relationships might have for them and their children.

2. First, tell the students you'd like them to participate in an activity to help them explore
their own attitudes. Ask them to begin by forming two circles - one inside the other - with
participants in each circle facing each other.

3. Tell them you are going to ask a series of questions and invite them to quickly answer
the question while the person they are facing listens. The person in the inner circle will
have up to a minute to answer the question, then you'll call out "switch," and the person
in the outer circle will answer the question.

Ask the first question: "What do you think is the best age to get married or enter into a
committed relationship?" After 30 seconds, call out "time" and have the other person
answer.

4. Have the inside circle move one person to their right so everyone is facing someone
new. Ask the next question using the same format used with the first question. Proceed in
this manner through all the questions on the leader resource.

5. Discuss the activity in the whole group. (If appropriate, return to the first question,
"What do you think is the best age to get married or enter into a committed relationship?"
and ask whether anything new showed up for them after doing the circle activity.)

Discussion Questions
What was that activity like for you?
What impact did our discussion have on your attitude toward marriage or committed
relationships?
What surprised you as you listened to the others in the group?

Variation
If the group is large, you can shorten the time the activity takes by having the inner circle
answer one question, the outer circle the next, and so on rather than have everyone
answer every question.

Unit 7 Lesson 27

SESSION 1: WHAT IS A PARENT? Continued

Every baby has two biological parents who may or may not be the baby’s caregivers. The biological parents
are the people who provided the sperm and the egg to create the baby. Caregivers are the people who pro-
vide for the child’s needs.

When you’re a small child, you need somebody to fix your food, help you get dressed, explain things, and take
care of you when you’re sick or hurt. It could be more than one person. It could be different people at differ-
ent times.

All young children need somebody they can count on to be there for them. This is their primary caregiver…
their safety net…the person taking responsibility for their daily care.

Sometimes the two biological parents are a child’s primary caregivers, but it isn’t always that way. Some-
times, for one reason or another, only one biological parent takes care of the child. Sometimes neither
biological parent takes care of the child.

A person who adopts a child is both a parent and a caregiver, though not a child’s biological parent. Adoption
is the legal transfer of parental rights from one parent to another. Adoption is one path to the love, stability,
nurturing, and care all children need from their parents.

A child’s legal parent is the person legally responsible for providing care the child needs. If something
happens to the child or if the child does not receive basic care and protection, the legal parent can be held
responsible. This is how our society tries to make sure that every child is cared for.

Both parents are responsible for supporting their child financially. When a child lives with just one parent,
that parent is called the custodial parent (the parent with custody).

A parent who does not live with his or her child is called the noncustodial parent. The noncustodial parent is
required to provide child support and medical insurance for the child unless the child has been legally adopt-
ed by someone else.

If you were on a committee to select a good parent(s) for an orphan, what kind of person(s) would you look
for? Consider the following issues:

 Would you look for an individual or a couple? Why?

 If you did select a couple, what kind of relationship would you want them to have?

 What personal qualities would you want the parent(s) to have?

 What kind of financial resources would they need to have?

Consider the following important parent characteristics:

Dependable Will be there when the child needs them

Adaptable Can adjust to the unexpected

Self-sufficient Can take care of themselves and support themselves financially

Disciplined Does what they need to do, even when they don’t feel like it

Resilient Can bounce back after something goes wrong

Responsible Can be counted on to take care of things the child needs (food, clothing,
shelter, keeping them safe, etc.)

Loving/Caring Demonstrates a deep personal attachment

Affectionate Shows fond feelings, is tender, gives hugs and kisses

Patient Is calm, composed, willing to wait something out

Understanding Tries hard to understand, shows empathy

Unit 7 Lesson 29

Class Activity: IALAC


Explain to the class that the story you are going to read to them will help them think about
team parenting from the child's perspective. The story will show the impact that parents'
conflict can have on their children's self-esteem. Explain that the story is rather exaggerated to
make a point. Hold up the IALAC sign that is not torn. Read the story. Be dramatic with your
reading, taking time to rip off a piece of the sign each time you see the word "rip" in the story.
You should have just a small piece of the sign at the end of the reading. (Note: You will rip the
sign six times during the story.) At the end of the reading, hold up the other sign with the
corners torn off. Say, "When Andre was all grown up, his IALAC sign had done a lot of mending.
Young people are very resilient. BUT there were some pieces that were gone FOREVER."

Hold a brief wrap-up discussion of the story: What did you think of the story? What was the
point for you?

Finally, distribute the handout The Family Bill of Rights. Explain that these rights apply to
parents who live separately but want to raise their children cooperatively. Ask for a volunteer
to read it or read it yourself aloud to the group. Get reactions from the group.

Unit 7 Lesson 2

IALAC STORY

This is a story about Andre and one of his most prized possessions — his IALAC sign. When Andre was born,
he was just like the rest of us. He came equipped with a sign called IALAC. IALAC stands for “I am Lovable and
Capable.”

Because it was invisible, no one — not his parents, relatives or the doctor who delivered him — knew it was
there. Nevertheless, it was shiny and new and in the earliest days of Andre’s life when his young mother and
father (who were happy and in love) stroked him, kissed him and admired him, his IALAC sign actually grew a
little bit larger and stronger every day.

The IALAC sign is an indication that children come into this world free of self doubt, feelings of shame, inferior-
ity or anything negative. They learn those things from the people and the world around them. And so it began
for Andre:

At age three, Andre, his mom and dad did a lot of things together. They had fun on the playground and watched
cartoons on Saturdays. One day at the playground he heard his mom and dad yelling at each other. Andre felt
scared. He went over to give his dad a hug and his father pushed him away and told him to go back to the
swings. His father’s face looked so mean that Andre started to cry. His mom came over and hugged him but
Andre still felt scared. (RIP) A very small piece of Andre’s IALAC sign fell off. Andre didn’t feel so lovable and
capable at the moment.

When Andre was almost four, he overheard his mother, Mika, and his grandmother, Sarah, talking about his
father. His grandmother said, “That man ain’t no good. He doesn’t ever have any money. He can’t even buy
medicine when the boy is sick. You don’t need that no good dog.” Andre didn’t understand exactly what his
grandmother meant, but he could tell by her voice that she was mad at his daddy and that made Andre feel
sad. Another piece of his IALAC sign broke off because Andre wanted his mom and grandmother to love his
daddy like he did. (RIP)

On his fourth birthday, Andre heard his father at the door. He went running to the door, but his mother was
there looking very mad. She and his daddy started to yell at each other. His mom said, “Where’s the money you
promised? I don’t want to see that stupid toy you bought for his birthday. He needs clothes and food.” Andre
covered his ears and started back into his room. But not before he heard his father say, “You witch. You can’t
keep me away from my son. I hate you.” (RIP)

A few months later, Andre was visiting his father. They went to see a Disney movie. It was a good day with his
dad. Then they went to the house of a lady named Miss Kim for dinner. Andre didn’t like the way that Miss Kim
hugged and kissed his daddy. Andre told Miss Kim that her macaroni and cheese didn’t taste as good as his
mommy’s. Miss Kim got mad and called his mommy a bad name. Andre’s dad told him to eat and tell Miss Kim
Unit 7 Lesson 2

that her food was good. Andre told his dad that he wanted to go home to his mommy, and his dad got real mad.
It wasn’t a good day anymore. (RIP)

A year later Andre started kindergarten. His mom called him her little man. He was growing up fast. She said,
“Your daddy doesn’t come over to see you like he should. He’s no good. I know when you grow up, you will never
be like him.” Andre felt confused. He still loved his dad and wanted to spend time with him. Sometimes he thinks
that his dad doesn’t visit a lot because his mother and grandmother are so mean to him. Andre worries that
they are driving him away. A week later his father called. Andre said, “Dad please come get me. I want to go
with you.” His dad promised he would come. Andre took his bath and got dressed. He waited and waited, but his
dad never came. Andre kept waiting. Finally, his mom told him his dad wasn’t coming. She asked if he wanted
spaghetti, his favorite, for dinner. Andre said he wasn’t hungry. His stomach hurt and his heart did too. (RIP)

When Andre was in second grade, he had gotten kind of used to not seeing his father much. It was no big
deal. He started getting into trouble a lot at school. His teacher said he had a behavior problem. Nowadays his
mother was always tired when she got home from work. She never laughed anymore. Today after school his
mom was screaming mad. She said the school called her at work and said they were expelling him for calling a
little girl a witch. Andre’s mom yelled at him. “What do you know about calling somebody a witch? This is awful.
I don’t know who you are. You are just like your no-good daddy. You’re gonna grow up and break somebody’s
heart just like he broke mine. I can’t take this anymore.” Andre just stood there and acted like he didn’t care.
He had learned that this was the best way to deal with his mother when she started screaming. But inside he
wondered, “Was his daddy no good? Does his daddy love him? Was he just like his dad?” A big piece of his IALAC
sign cracked and fell off. (Final RIP)

As students take their seats  they check the guided  uestion on the board and think about how it pertains to their 
life  For this lesson the guided  uestion is:  How many parts of your reproductive system can you name?  
 
nt o uction/ e ui     ins  
The students are introduced to the topic through a PowerPoint asking true false  uestions about information that 
will be covered throughout the unit  Students are instructed to participate in the pre uiz by holding up the green 
side of the card for true and the blue side of the card for false according to how they would answer the  uestion 
displayed in the Pre Quiz PowerPoint   
 
As each  uestion is asked  the teacher observes the number of green vs  blue cards  Based on the results  the teacher 
can initiate discussion from students about why they answered the way they did  During discussion the teacher can

Tell the class that  since sex and related topics are sensitive and sometimes emotional  it is important for the class to 
develop some  ground rules  for behavior  These rules are to ensure that every person is treated with respect  Each 
person should feel safe enough to share their ideas with the group  This means the class must have an atmosphere 
that is safe from teasing  making fun of others  and disrespect  
 
Have students call out rules they want for the group  On the board or newsprint  write the rules that students

suggest  Get feedback from the group  as needed  to assess acceptability of each rule  and any concerns about them  


Help the group evaluate each suggestion for its relevance to respect  The facilitator should model respect for ideas  
even when a suggested rule is not popular   eep the ground rules posted in the classroom throughout the unit  
 
Rules should include: 
The group will not tolerate making fun of anyone or ridiculing them  It is O  to disagree  but it is not O  to 
humiliate or criticize a person or indicate that the person is not O  
Everyone has a chance to speak and contribute  The ideas and leadership of every student are important
including  uiet  students  
 Everyone has the option  OT to speak  Even though everyone must pay attention  and not disrupt the 
class  no one is forced to say something in front of others if they don t want to  Anyone can  pass  
 What happens in the group stays in the group  There should be no telling others outside the class what a 
particular student says  unless that student gives their permission to share it  
 Respect differences and don t assume that others are in the same situation as you  For example  some 
students may not have parents that they live with  Some students do not feel attracted to the opposite sex  
Students may have different religious backgrounds  
 Respect other people s privacy  In this class  no one should share information about someone else without 
their permission  If you talk about someone else without their permission  be careful not to identify them

Let the class know that this session will be about human reproduction  including male and female anatomy and 
function  This is basic information that is important to being able to make healthy decisions about sex  Refer to the 
posted  or projected   EY MESSAGES poster  
 
Post and review the  ground rules  the class just agreed upon  Point out that following the ground rules is especially 
important when discussing sensitive issues like sexual health  Acknowledge that  even though everyone has genitals  
people often feel embarrassed or giggly talking about them  To being this activity  ask the class to mention some 
commonly used  street  or  slang  names they may have heard for genital structures  including the penis  vagina  
breasts  and testicles  If the students are reluctant to say commonly used names out loud  the facilitator may need to 
start the list  As the students offer a commonly used name  the facilitator should repeat the commonly used name to 
acknowledge its existence  Su estion: write the words on the white board or Post It pad as the students call them 
out  This will help students become more comfortable with the topic   
 
After the class has had a chance to offer lots of commonly used names  ask them to mention commonly used names 
for other body parts  like the elbow  foot  or ear  Ask the class why they think there are so many commonly used 
names for body parts related to genitalia  but none for other body parts  Point out that sex and reproduction are 
emotionally charged and often held secret in our society  and these are some reasons for why there are so many 
commonly used  or  slang  names  Let the class know that it is important to know the proper names for body parts 
and to be able to use the proper names

had sex in the last 3 months  
Six in 10 teens who have had sex say they wish they had waited longer

Unit 8 Lesson 30

ABSTINENCE: Why Should I Wait?

ACTIVITY 5.2 -- Is THIS Abstinence? -- 5 to 10 minutes


At this point, pass out the sets of 20 cut-out “Is THIS Abstinence?” CARDS, one
set for each small group. Let the students know that some of these cards
describe activities that are pretty personal—and many people may feel
embarrassed talking about some of these things. Still, it is important to know
about these activities because some people, including some teenagers, engage
in these activities. And it is important for young people to know about sexual
activities, so they will be ready to make good decisions about what they will
do—and what they will not do. It is essential to think ahead and plan ahead.

Tell the class that you want each group to sort the cards into 2 groups:
Those activities that are OK to do if a person wants to choose Abstinence
Those activities that are NOT OK to do if a person wants to choose Abstinence

Give the group a few minutes to discuss and sort the activity cards. On the
board or newsprint, start 2 columns labeled “ABSTINENCE” and “NOT
ABSTINENCE”, leaving room in the middle for a “May be ABSTINENCE, but may
still want to AVOID” column. Go through each of the activities, getting
feedback from the groups about into which column they would place each
activity. Suggested categorization of each item is listed in the FACILITATOR
RESOURCE.

Once all 20 items are categorized, reinforce that having oral, anal, or vaginal
sex is NOT Abstinence. Acknowledge that there are some disagreements about
whether some activities are OK to do and still be considered Abstinence. For
these things, it is helpful to create a category of things that may technically be
Abstinence, but that a person may want to avoid anyway. That is why, for
people who want to choose Abstinence, there are lots of other activities
(besides oral, anal, or vaginal sex) that people might want to abstain from.
They may want to avoid situations that they think might lead to sexual
intercourse. Or they may simply want to avoid activities that are too
personal or intimate. Every person should set their own boundaries—that is, set the line
between what they will do and what they won’t do.
(4 It may be helpful to use different colored paper for each set. After they are used, they can be collected and used again
for future classes.)

Examples of activities that people may want to avoid include:


Physical intimacy that may be too intimate, or that may make it difficult to
resist going farther and having sex, for example:
O Touching breasts
O Touching below the waist

Other activities that put them in a vulnerable or risky situation, such as:

Unit 8 Lesson 30

O Being alone with a boyfriend/girlfriend


O Using drugs or alcohol with a boyfriend/girlfriend
O Having an older boyfriend/girlfriend

Have the class suggest other activities that they might want to avoid if they
chose Abstinence. [Note to Facilitators: If someone in the class asks about
masturbation (touching oneself), acknowledge that this is a controversial topic.
Let the class know that masturbation is something that many people do—both
males and females. It does not have risks of unplanned pregnancy or of STDs,
and it does not cause health problems. However, some families and some
religions do not approve of masturbation.]

Summarize that Abstinence means not having sex, but it also means a decision
and a plan—and the plan might mean not doing other things, even if they are
not technically sex. For the rest of this session, leave the definitions on the
board:

ABSTINENCE = not having sex


SEX = vaginal, oral, or anal sex

Activity   
Settin oun Rules 
 
Tell the class that  since sex and related topics are sensitive and sometimes emotional  it is 
important for the class to develop some  ground rules  for behavior  These rules are to ensure 
that every person is treated with respect  Each person should feel safe enough to share their 
ideas with the group  This means the class must have an atmosphere that is safe from teasing  
making fun of others  and disrespect  
 
Have students call out rules they want for the group  On the board or newsprint  write the rules 
that students suggest  Get feedback from the group  as needed  to assess acceptability of each 
rule  and any concerns about them  Help the group evaluate each suggestion for its relevance 
to respect  The facilitator should model respect for ideas  even when a suggested rule is not 
popular  Display the ground rules established by the group during each class  
 
Rules should include: 
The group will not tolerate making fun of anyone or ridiculing them  It is O  to disagree  
but it is not O  to humiliate or criticize a person or indicate that the person is not O  
Everyone has a chance to speak and contribute  The ideas and leadership of every 
student are important including  uiet  students  
Everyone has the option  OT to speak  Even though everyone must pay attention  and 
not disrupt the class  no one is forced to say something in front of others if they don t 
want to  Anyone has the right to  pass  
Vegas Rule  What happens here stays here  There should be no telling others outside 
the class what a particular student says  unless that student gives their permission to 
share it  Respect other people s privacy  In this class  no one should share information 
about someone else without their permission  If you talk about someone else without 
their permission  be careful not to identify them  
Respect differences and don t assume that others are in the same situation as you  For 
example  some students may not have parents that they live with  Some students do not 
feel attracted to the opposite sex  Students may have different religious backgrounds  
There is no such thing as a  dumb   uestion in this class  Students must feel confident 
that they can ask a  uestion without being made fun of

Unit 8 Lesson 30
 

Time Management for Lesson 2


Students often have many questions about anatomy and reproduction.
Facilitators are encouraged to answer as many questions as possible, as they
come up during the lesson. However, in order to lay the groundwork for future
lessons, it is important to be able to finish Activity 2.3. For some classes, there
may not be enough time to complete the last Activity (2.4), Reproduction: True
or False? The facilitator may wish to cut up the Facilitator Resource for Activity
2.4, and have students draw questions from a box or envelope. Alternatively,
to save time, the facilitator can simply read the questions from the Resource.

 
Activity 2.1 
Ice­Breaker: What Do They Call It? – 5 minutes 
Let the class know that this session will be about human reproduction, including male and
female anatomy and function. This is basic information that is important to being able to
make healthy decisions about sex. Refer to the posted (or pro ected) KE MESSAGES poster.

Post and review the “ground rules” developed at the last session. Point out that following
the ground rules is especially important when discussing sensitive issues like the ones in this
lesson.

Acknowledge that, even though everybody has genitals, people often feel embarrassed or
giggly talking about them. As an ice-breaker, ask the class to mention some commonly used
(“street” or “slang”) names they may have heard for genital structures, including the penis,
vagina, breasts, and testicles. If the students are reluctant to say commonly used names out
loud, the facilitator may need to start the list him- or herself. As the students offer a
commonly used name, the facilitator should repeat the commonly used name to acknowledge
its existence.

After the class has had a chance to offer lots of commonly used names, ask them to mention
commonly used names for other body parts, like the elbow, foot, or ear. Ask the class why
they think there are so many commonly used names for body parts related to sex, but none
for nonsexual body parts. Point out that sex and reproduction are emotionally charged and
often held secret in our society, and these are some reasons for why there are so many
commonly used, or “slang”, names. Let the class know that it is important to know the
proper names for body part and to be able to use the medically accurate names.

BIG DECISIONSTM Lesson 2


ACTIVITY 2.3 -- The Journeys of the Sperm and the Egg
Display the e o ti e ste nside DIAGRAM poster or transparency for the “Journey of
the Sperm” game.
Ask for student volunteers to form 2 teams of 6 students each to come to the front of
the class, with one team in a line on the right side of the class and one team in a line
on the left. Give one student on each team the “SPERM” sign; they will be the team
leaders. Give the other 5 members of each team one of the following SIGNS (in
random order):

• Testicle
• Epididymis
• Vas Deferens
• Urethra
• Penis

Tell each “SPERM” to put his or her team in order of how the sperm travels on
its journey t o t e o . The other team members holding up their signs cannot talk, but the rest
of the class who are not on a team can assist the 2 “SPERM” to et their team
members in o e . The first team to get into the correct order wins! When the game is over,
refer back to the nside Diagram and reinforce the correct order of the SIGNS.
Have the SPERM teams sit down, and collect the “Journey of the Sperm” Game SIGNS.
Then repeat the game for the “Journey of the Egg”. Post or project the
Inside 2 DIAGRAM.

Ask for student volunteers (new ones, if possible) to form 2 more teams of 6 students
each to come to the front of the class. Give one student on each team the “EGG”
sign; they will be the team leaders. Give the other 5 members of each team one of
the following 5 SIGNS (in random order):

• Ovary
• Fallopian Tube
• Uterus
• Cervix
• Vagina

Tell each “EGG” to put his or her team in order of how the egg travels on its
journey t o t e o . Again, the other team members holding up their signs cannot talk, but the
rest of the class who are not on a team can assist the 2 “EGGS” to et their team
members in o e . The first team to get into the correct order wins! Again, when the game is
over, refer back to the Inside 2 Diagram to reinforce the correct order of the
SIGNS.
Thank the contestants and collect the “Journey of the Egg” SIGNS.

Emergency Contraception

What is it?
a pill called Plan B One Step, Next Choice One Dose, My Way, AfterPill
or ella.
a form of birth control that may be used if someone had unprotected
sex or used a contraceptive method that failed.

How does it work?


It temporarily blocks eggs from being produced, by stopping
fertilization, or by keeping a fertilized egg from implanting in the
uterus.
It should be taken as soon as possible – up to 72 hours of unprotected
intercourse.
It is used to prevent a pregnancy, not end one.

Advantages:
When Plan B is taken as directed, it can reduce the chance of
pregnancy by close to 90%.

Disadvantages:
Does not protect against STD’s.

Lesson 32

Condom Lineup Instructions:


This activity helps participants understand the key steps to correct condom use. Each step has brief
talking points that should be discussed with participants. This activity can be completed as one
group, divided into small groups or as a race to see who can place the steps in correct order the
fastest.

1 –Get condom and/or water-based lubricant at clinic, store, or other place


• Plan ahead
• Make sure the package says the condom is FDA approved for use
• It is important to use water-based lubricant. Oil-based lubricant can cause condoms
to rip or tear easily. Silicone lubricant is okay to use, too.

2 –Both partners give consent (want to have sex)


• It is important that both partners have verbally asked for and given consent for sex
before any kind of sexual activity takes place
• Assuming a partner wants to have sex is NOT giving consent

3 – Check package expiration date and open it carefully


• If a condom is expired, don’t use it. Condoms can be damaged by extreme heat or
cold, so it is important to store them in a cool, dry place
• Make sure that the package is sealed before opening it. There should be an air
bubble in the package which ensures there aren’t any holes.
• Do not use teeth or scissors. Avoid using anything sharp (nails, rings/jewelry)
• Open the condom package by tearing it on the side

4 –Make sure condom is right side out, pinch the tip to make room for semen, put condom
on erect penis and unroll all the way
• With the condom is right side out, it should unroll easily
• Make sure to leave enough room in the end of the condom for semen to collect
• Only put condoms on after the penis is erect
• With one hand holding the tip of the condom, use the other hand to unroll the
condom to the base of the penis
• Why is it important to roll it down to the base?

5 –Penis touches partner


• A common mistake is for partners to start having sex, then put on a condom right
before ejaculation
• Why could this be a problem?
• Keep the condom on the penis until after ejaculation
• One or both partners might decide before ejaculation that they don’t want to keep
having sex. That’s OK!

6 –Hold condom at the base of penis, take penis out of partner while penis is still erect
• This prevents the condom from coming off, which could leave semen in the partner

7 –Roll the condom off the penis without spilling semen, throw condom in trash – never use
a condom twice
• Take condom off while facing away from the partner to be sure the semen does not
get on the partner
Get condom and/or water-based
lubricant at clinic, store, or other place
Both partners give
consent
(want to have sex)
Check package expiration date
and open it carefully
Make sure condom is right side out, pinch the
tip to make room for semen, put condom on
erect penis, and unroll all the way
Penis touches partner
Hold condom at the base of penis, take penis
out of partner while penis is still erect
Roll condom off the penis without
spilling semen, throw condom in trash
– never use a condom twice

Let the class know that deciding whether to have sex is a big decision one that should be 
made carefully and for the right reasons  Remind them that having sex is a big decision and 
teens who have sex must take action to reduce their risk of STDs and unplanned pregnancy  
 
Tell the class that you want them to weigh the pros and cons of students having sex while they 
are in their middle or high school years vs  abstinence  waiting  They should think  not just 
about themselves  but of other students  too  For example  how would they weigh having sex 
vs  waiting to have sex if it was about their best friend  or a younger sister or brother? 
 
Ask the students to call out reasons for having sex  Write the reasons on the board or newsprint 
in the  Reasons to Have Sex  column   ow ask the students to call out reasons to wait and not 
have sex  and write these in the  Reasons to Wait  column  Help the class come up with all the 
reasons for waiting that are in the Facilitator Resource  
 
ow  for each reason in the two columns  ask the students to rate how healthy and how strong 
each reason is  Go through each reason on both lists  asking the class to raise their hands if they 
thought the reason was a good one that is it was a healthy and strong reason  
When the class demonstrates a clear consensus  place a star in front of the reason they 
consider to be healthy and strong  Place a zero in front of the reason they consider  OT to be 
healthy and strong  For those where there is a difference of opinion  or where a consensus is 
not clear  place a  uestion mark in front of that reason  The students  ratings affect their 
perceptions and their reality  and they should be respected  However  if the facilitator disagrees 
with the class s assessment of how healthy a reason is  they should let the class know why they 
disagree  Help the students add up the healthy and strong reasons to assess the overall pros 
and cons of having sex as a teenager  This exercise should demonstrate why students should 
consider abstinence to be such a healthy choice

What is the difference between
gross income and net income?

Gross Income - An individual's


total personal income, before
accounting for taxes or deductions.

Net Income – An individual’s


income after taxes and deductions;
their “take home”.
Child Support
When a couple separates, one has custody of the
child, the noncustodial parent has to pay child
support, how is the amount of child support figured?

According to state guidelines, the amount of child


support owed is as follows:
1 Child = 20% of net income
2 Children = 25%
3 Children = 30%
4 Children = 35%
5 Children or more = 40%
*these amounts are for multiple children with the same 2 biological parents.
Calculating Gross Income:
If you make 10.00 an hour, what
is your gross monthly income?

1. Multiply hourly rate by 40 (assuming 40 hours a week)

2. Multiply that number by 52 (# of weeks in a year)


3. Then divide by 12 (# of months in a year)
4. Round to the nearest dollar

Gross income per month = $1,733.00


Calculating Net Income:
Gross Income is $1,733.00

1. Multiply GI by .062 (6.2% Social Security)


2. Multiply GI by .0145 (1.45% Medicare)
3. Add above 2 numbers to 155.00 (Federal income tax)
4. Subtract the sum from the Gross Income

Net income per month = $1,445.42


Calculating Child Support:
If you made 10.00 an hour and had 2
children, what would you pay in
child support?
Net income times .25 (25% for 2 children)

Child support per month = $361.36

How much would you pay if


you had 3 children?
$433.63

Activity 4.2 
Common Sexually Transmitted Diseases — 20 minutes 
Divide the class into small groups or teams. Each team will be assigned one of the following
STDs:

• Chlamydia and Gonorrhea (these infections are similar in symptoms and complications
and will be considered together)
• Trichomonas
• Syphilis
• HIV Infection
• Herpes
• Human Papillomavirus (HPV)
Tell the class that, as you pass out the STD “assignments” to each of the teams, you will go
over some basic information about each infection. The information about each infection will
be on the STD Handouts that you will give to each team. Each team will then have the
information on “their” STD to refer to later when the class plays the “Which STD Am I?”
game. During the game, each team will make sure that the answers to each uestion are
correct when it comes to “their” infection.

As you review each of the STDs, give each team the STD Handout corresponding to “their”
infection and pro ect the PowerPoint slide or transparency for that handout. Encourage
uestions as you proceed. Use the Facilitator Resource and References to learn and review
each STD, so you can give a brief summary of the information in each of the boxes on the
Handouts.

Answer uestions as much as possible as they arise, but be sure to leave time for Activity 4.4
to focus on ways to avoid STDs.

Activity 4.3 
“Which STD Am I?” Game—10 minutes  
Let the class know that they are now going to play the “Which STD Am I?” Game.

Each team will get a point for each one of the 0 game statements if they answer correctly
whether “their” infection is described by the statement.

Tell the class that each slip of paper in this game has a statement that describes one, some,
or none of the groups’ STDs. Show them the slips of paper with the “Which STD Am I?”

 
Lesson 4 69

Unit 8 Lesson 34

statements in the box and mix them up. For each turn, ask a different student to reach in,
draw a slip of paper out of the box, and read it to the class.

In responding to each statement, each team decides if “their” infection is a correct answer.
If “their” infection is a correct answer, the team has one of its members stand, holding up its
STD Handout.

Statements include:

• All people can have me and not know it, because often they have NO
SYMPTOMS

Answer: All the infections are correct: Chlamydia, Gonorrhea, Trichomonas, Syphilis,
HIV, Herpes, and HPV.

• I can be cured with antibiotics

Answer: This is true for bacterial infections (Chlamydia and Gonorrhea, Syphilis)
and for the parasitic infection Trichomonas. Of course, even after they are cured, a
person can get them again. Viral infections such as HIV, Herpes, and HPV are NOT
curable, although they are treatable.

• I cause a discharge from the penis or vagina

Answer: Chlamydia and Gonorrhea typically cause a discharge from the penis and
can cause a vaginal discharge. Trichomonas usually causes no symptoms in people with a penis,
but causes vaginal discharge.

• Some types of me cause warts, and some types can lead to cancer

Answer: Human Papillomavirus (HPV). Some types of HPV cause genital warts. The
“high-risk” types of HPV can cause dysplasia and cancer of the cervix. These viruses
can also lead to dysplasia and cancer of the vagina, vulva, penis, anus, and even the
throat.

• I cause blisters or sores in the genital area

Answer: Herpes infection causes painful blisters that can come back from time to
time. Syphilis typically causes a painless sore that gets better, even without
treatment.

70 Lesson 4
© Austin Independent School District 6/20/2016 Page 2 of 10
Unit 8 Lesson 34
 

• I can affect a baby, if it is born to a mother that has me

Answer: All the infections can affect babies. Chlamydia and Gonorrhea can infect the
baby’s eyes, and Chlamydia can also cause pneumonia. Trichomonas infection of the
mother is associated with premature birth. Syphilis can cause many problems for a
baby, both before and after birth. Babies can get HIV from their mothers during
birth, or from breastfeeding. Babies can get Herpes infection from their mother
during birth, and this infection is serious and often fatal. Also, rarely, babies can get
HPV in the throat if they are born to a mother who has genital warts.

• I am very common among young people who have had sex

Answer: Common infections include Chlamydia and Gonorrhea, Trichomonas,


Herpes, and HPV. HIV and Syphilis are less common—but still very important—
infections among young people.

• I kill the cells that protect the body from infection

Answer: HIV infection kills immune system cells. Eventually, if not controlled by
medication, HIV infection makes the body unable to fight infection, and the person
develops AIDS.

• I can infect people through oral or anal sex

Answer: Chlamydia and Gonorrhea, Syphilis, HIV, Herpes, and HPV infection can all
be transmitted through oral-genital contact (i.e., mouth on a male’s genitals or a
female’s genitals) or through anal sex (i.e., penis in anus). (Note: When considering
HIV infection, anal sex without a condom is especially risky. Oral sex is less risky than
vaginal or anal sex, but it is possible to contract HIV through oral sex.)

• If I am not treated, I might make it hard to get pregnant (or get someone pregnant)
later on

Answer: Untreated Chlamydia and Gonorrhea infections can travel through a


female’s uterus and tubes (or through a male’s “tubes”) and cause infertility
(difficulty getting pregnant or causing a pregnancy). This can happen even if a person
does not have symptoms of infection. These complications do not happen to
everyone, so having one of these infections is NOT a birth control method. But if it
happens, it can be emotionally upsetting and cost lots of money to try to achieve a
pregnancy with medical help.

As each statement is read and answered, keep track of each team’s points. Clarify answers
with the class, and reinforce important points. Congratulate the winning team(s), and praise
the efforts of all the teams.

“Is This Consent?”


 
1 Ask the group to explain what  sexual consent  means  Clarify that sexual consent 
simply means both people wanting to participate in a particular sexual behavior  It is 
important that both partners agree or consent to the sexual activity  Any sexual contact 
ithout a ee ent is consi e e  sexual assault an  is a ainst the la  
 
2 Ask the group to explain what  sexual limits  means  Clarify that sexual limits can mean 
choosing not to have sex  not to have sex with a particular person  doing certain sexual 
activities but not others  or agreeing to sex and then changing your mind   ach pe son 
has the  i ht to  eci e thei  o n sexual li its an  to chan e thei   in  at any ti e  
That is why it is important to know your sexual limits and to communicate them clearly 
to others  It is e ually important to understand your partners  sexual limits by asking 
them what they do and do not want to do regarding sexual activity  
 
3 Pass out a green card and a red card to each participant  Explain that you will read a 
statement and they will vote on whether the statement implies that the person 
consents to have sexual intercourse with you  If participants think that the statement 
communicates consent  they should hold up the green card  If the participants think that 
the statement does not communicate consent  they should hold up the red card   
 
4 Read and record each statement from the Facilitators Resource  Ask the participants to 
vote  After the statement  clarify whether the participants have any comments or 
thoughts to share  If the participants voted that consent was communicated when it was 
not  ask them to explain their answer and clarify that consent was not communicated  
Continue this process until you have read all of the  uestions  

As in   o   onsent 
 
1 Explain that two very important skills are needed before someone initiates sexual 
activity  The first is that a person needs to be able to ask whether their partner wants to 
have sex  Agreeing to have sex is called consent  Ask the group:  Why is it important to 
ask for or confirm consent?  Explain that  e cannot ASSU  that the othe  pe son 
consents   e nee  to con i  this  y as in  ou  pa tne   
 
2 Ask the group to explain how to know whether a partner consents to sex  What words 
can someone use to ask whether or not their partner consents to have sex? Is this 
usually talked about in a relationship? If not  why not? Discuss this with the group

Unit 8 Lesson 36 
 
 
 
3 ext  explain that even after someone consents  it is important to check in and make 
sure this is something that the partner still wants to do  Sometimes there may be signals 
that a person is unsure about sexual activity  On a piece of flipchart paper write the 
word  Unsure  in the top left hand corner  Ask participants to provide examples of signs 
that a person may be unsure about having sex and list them on the left hand side  
 
4 On the same flipchart  write  Checking In  on the right hand side   ow ask the 
participants to list things a person could say or do to check in with a partner and 
determine whether this is something that the partner still wants to do  After creating 
both lists  the flipchart should look something like this: 
 
 
Unsu e           hec in   n 
 
Unresponsive body language     Are you good? Does this feel O ?  
 
Tears            What s wrong? Do you want to talk about this?  
 
Being withdrawn        How are you feeling? Do you still want to do this?

Step    
Start class by saying   Today we re going to be talking about the topic of boundaries  Let s start 
by defining  that   what is a boundary?  Write some of student  responses on the board  Sample 
responses might include   Something that  blocks something else from happening   a border  
a fence  etc  Say   A boundary is a physical or psychological limit  that s set up to show how far 
something goes  There are all kinds of boundaries  write the types on the board as you go 
through  them : 
 
nvi on ental  boundaries include a country s or state s borders  They can also refer to 
restricted  areas of a building like  here at school we have the Teachers  Lounge  or the 
office  
ocess boundaries refer to the parameters around how things happen  including starting 
and ending class and school on time  getting  to a doctor s appointment  on time  doing 
homework before watching  a movie  etc  
hysical boundaries include not only whether you have any kind of physical contact 
with  another person  but how much  For example  you may be okay shaking hands with a 
particular  person  but don t want to hug them  You may love to hug  but end up hugging 
someone who hates to be hugged  You may not be interested in having sex with 
someone  but you might be okay doing other sexual things  
e sonal boundaries include how much you share of your personal life   What do you 
keep private? What do you tell other people?  

Say   Today  we re going to be looking at our physical and personal boundaries

the worksheets they have and return to their seats  Process by asking the following  uestions: 
 
Thinking about both the experience of completing the worksheet individually  and then 
standing under the signs of someone else s worksheet  what was it like to do that? What 
was  student responses  about it? 
What did you notice about where people stood? Did you notice that there was a lot of 
agreement  or more variety and how people in this class feel about these boundaries? 
Say   Recognizing your own boundaries is one thing  but to make certain that you have consent  
it s e ually important to know what your partner s boundaries are and that takes 
communication  What if you have different boundaries? Let s look at that now  
 
Divide the class into pairs  and ask them to use the worksheets they have to talk about how 
similar and how different these two people s boundaries are  Ask them to discuss what they 
think they should do about the ones where there is complete disagreement   for example  if 
one person has  describes me completely  and the other person has  does not describe me at 
all  as well as what to do if either or both selected  describes me somewhat  
ote to the Teache  While it is possible for two people to get worksheets with the exact same 
responses  it is not likely to happen   16 minutes

    Unit 8 Lesson 36 
 
ST    After about 8 minutes  ask students to stop their paired discussions  Ask for volunteers 
to give examples of statements where the two people are at opposite ends of the spectrum  
Once they ve read the statement aloud have them share what they discussed  Ask other 
students what their reaction is to what they heard  
For example:  Say one person says they don t mind being hugged from behind  and one person 
does not like it at all  What does each partner need to do about that? Probe for the fact that 
the person who does not like to be hugged from behind needs to tell their partner so that this 
doesn t happen to them   and so the partner knows  Then the partner needs to respect that 
boundary and not do it once they ve been told  
Continue to discuss the examples  including those in which one or both partner said the 
statement described them  somewhat  Talk about the concerns of there being some wiggle 
room  and how this can confuse either partner  
Ask   What does getting consent mean?  Take a few responses and say   If you haven t 
communicated about what you each feel comfortable doing  sometimes even if you have  you 
need to ask for consent each and every time  Silence does not mean yes  Only yes means yes  
13 minutes  
 
ST    Ask   Think about what everyone just shared   what themes did you hear? When you re 
in a relationship with someone  what are your rights and responsibilities when it comes to your 
boundaries and theirs?  Record responses on the board  If the following aren t shared  be sure 
to add them: 
e clea  Your partner can t read your mind   so if a boundary is important to you  
speak up  
on t push  People can have all sorts of reasons for maintaining a physical boundary in a 
relationship  whether something as simple as they just don t like doing something to 
something more intense as they were sexually assaulted and that behavior triggers 
them to remember the assault  
Al ays as   o  consent  An absolute yes and an absolute no are usually easier to 
understand than a  sometimes  If you or your partner are sometimes okay doing 
something  and sometimes not okay  how will you be able to tell when that is? Only by 
asking  
Say   Relationships of all kinds re uire good communication   family relationships  friendship   
but when it comes to intimate and sexual relationships  it s even more important  We all 
communicate in different ways  but it s important to communicate   before  during and after a 
sexual encounter   5 minutes
