Instructional Ideas

• Many of the worksheets and journal are used in multiple sessions; therefore, have class members create a specific folder for these materials and have them bring this folder to each class session
• Preview the entire packet to see if the approaches are appropriate to your learning situation and community

Classroom Considerations

• The ninth in a series of 10 resources focusing on Social, Physical, Emotional, Cognitive and Spiritual (SPECS) health
• Although the money activity refers to pounds instead of dollars, the conversion is easy to adapt
• The activities presume a protocol has been established to have a safe and respectful discussion of sexuality

Pros

• The 12-page packet includes activities, directions, journal prompts, worksheets, and links to related materials

Cons

• The labeling of the handouts may prove confusing since they have both a resource number and an activity number
