Students should be able to:

  • Define abstinence in their own words
  • List the facts and myths about abstinence
  • Enumerate reasons for abstinence

Lesson Plan

  1. Start with the 'warm up'. This will take about 7 to 10 minutes.
  2. Then let the students read the information in the info-cartoon. Most students will be finished in 12 to 15 minutes.
  3. Then do either the 'discuss' or the 'make' exercise. This will take about 20 to 30 minutes. If you have a double lesson you can do both the 'make' and the 'discuss'.
  4. Round up the lesson with a reflection on what the students have learned.
    If you do not have enough time in one lesson to do all these steps you can also give the 'make'or 'discuss' exercise as homework and spend any remaining time taking reactions or questions from students.
  5. The 'tips' are optional for students to recap.
