Make a very large, five-point star on the floor with masking tape that is big enough for students
to assemble around. Label each point of the star with one of the pages of the five-dimensions of
the human person (pgs. 1-M to 1-Q). (Option: If floor space is unavailable, labels could be put
at the four corners of the room and at the center of the room. A drawing on the blackboard
would also work; however, this exercise is most effective when students are able to move to
each facet.)
Steps for making the star:
Write the following song lyrics on the board:
1946
“Birds do it, bees do it.
Even educated fleas do it.
Let’s do it, let's fall in love.” - Cole Porter
2000
“You and me baby ain’t nothin’ but mammals.
So let’s do it like they do on the Discovery Channel.” - The Bloodhound Gang
A. Introduction
1. Overview of the Curriculum
For the next eight sessions, we are going to be focusing on the important decisions each of us
makes about love and sex. We live in a sex-saturated culture, and because sex is all around us,
you’ve probably thought a lot about sex. Well, these classes should cause you to think some
more!
Much of what we will do and discuss centers around smart choices. Making good decisions as
teenagers tends to set the foundation for happy adult lives. But the good thing is that no matter
where you are today in your decisions about sexual activity, even if you’ve been or are currently
sexually active, you can use this information to build a strong foundation for your future.
Maybe you will be affirmed that you have been making healthy choices already, or maybe today
will be the start of having you think about things from a new perspective with new insight!
