Instructional Ideas

  • Include in a health unit about dating and human sexuality
  • Have your class journal their feelings about dating before you start, or detail a friendship that has ended
  • Design a cross-curricular unit between science and health, or teen issues, based on the topics in the resource

Classroom Considerations

  • Contains many words and phrases from the British dialect
  • Does not specifically address some of the signs of abuse within relationships

Pros

  • Provides all necessary worksheets and graphic organizers
  • Addresses key points that are relevant to your middle schoolers' questions and concerns

Cons

  • None
