Instructional Ideas

  • Research the support services available on campus and in the community; post and point out information about these services 
  • After reading the articles, have class members create a T-chart listing signs of both healthy and unhealthy relationships
  • Generate another list of ways to get help
  • Use the quiz as an exit ticket to assess understanding

Classroom Considerations

  • Requires red construction paper for red flags
  • Individual copies of three worksheets are also required
  • Monitor for and report signs of suspected abuse

Pros

  • Includes an answer key for the quiz
  • The role-play activity encourages students to consider their responsibilities when observing abusive situations and strategies for responding safely

Cons

  • None
