Lesson Plan Adolescence

LESSON PLANS
The strategy selected for the delivery of both lessons is Circle talk. The first strategy will help
students to share their own ideas and opinions and listen to and respect others’ opinions. It
also holds all students accountable for having something to say. This will provide students
with an opportunity to express their feelings and challenges and gain support from the
experiences of others. Cooperative learning strategy will be used for the second task in the
first lesson, as students will be encouraged to sit in groups and brainstorm and share with
each other to identify changes that occur during adolescence.
The second lesson utilised a Decision-making model. This strategy will help students to
consider their own beliefs about their ability to view situations and events and solve problems,
explore a series of steps in making decisions in relation to positive healthy behaviours, and
share reasons for deciding with others. Prior to using a decision-making model, students will
need to understand the idea of ‘problem’, ‘choices’ and ‘decisions’ and this will be addressed in
the circle talk segment. The students will create a skit to highlight an issue experienced by
adolescents and formulate a strategy that can be used to address the issue identified. This
strategy will encourage students to think about the choices available in a given scenario and
then choose the best option and use statements to support their decision as they present their
skits.
