Lesson 3 builds on Lesson 2 by continuing the discussion of Oppression, Privilege, Vulnerability and Empowerment through activities about consent and healthy relationships. Students are first provided with an opportunity to unpack what it really means to give - or not give - Consent, with an emphasis on dynamics of Power, Privilege and Vulnerability.
Students then discuss healthy relationships, by considering how they feel when they are in healthy (vs. unhealthy relationships). Here, we encourage you to underscore the fact that there are many different types of relationships (romantic, platonic, professional, familial, friend), and they can all have characteristics of both healthy and unhealthy relationships.
Students will also integrate their understandings of consent and healthy relationships, to generate solutions for the Solutions Mural.
1. Students will unpack Consent; what it is, and what it means to give, and not give, consent.
2. Students will be able to identify characteristics of healthy versus unhealthy relationships.
3. Students will use their developing social and political vocabulary to discuss the ways in which Power and Privilege can manifest in relationship dynamics.
4. Students will continue to collaboratively create the Solutions Mural.
