We had our first group present on sexuality. Sexuality is a tough topic to talk about especially with your peers. I really liked how this group incorporated humor into their presentation to lighten the mood, but at the same time hit the really important topics to talk about. They talked about the stigma around sexuality and gender and how there are three totally different views that have taken shape in society. Additionally they talked about why it is so important to see a person as a person, not necessarily as a female or male. Giving students chances to develop and not pushing them one way or another. NICE JOB Kevin, Amy, and Vinnie.
One of my favorite activities in during the class period was the values word sort. It was really interesting to compare with people in my group of what they valued in comparison and contrast to what I valued the most. "Competitiveness" was one of my core values which did not appear in any of my group members top values. We had a discussion of why this maybe was true and talked about some of their top values. This was a great activity to find something about yourself and to continue to work on your self value.
Stand in Silence was another activity that we did in class. This was another activity that could be incorporated into a bullying unit. I liked how their was no comments allowed so feelings were not hurt and that the activity moved along quickly. It did not give students a chance to look around and see how other students were reacting to the prompts. Also the prompts were written in a way that was very broad so students could not pick out why students were either sitting down or standing up which made this a very solid activity.
