a. Introduction: (10 mins)
Show the students a collection of photographs cut from newspapers and magazines
of men and women. Ask them to select two which best show the word “sexuality” and
explain their choice to their group. Ask the groups to come up with a definition of
sexuality. Hear these and then read them one prepared on butcher paper.
Sexuality is what we think about ourselves and our bodies and how we act towards
others. It is a powerful force in our lives that develops from an early age and can be
expressed in different ways. It can be shaped by many factors.
Q: In what ways can we express our sexuality Ask them to discuss this question in
pairs and feedback. E.g. What we wear, how we act, who we are attracted to, how
we speak, dancing, cultural roles etc
b. Main Activity: (40 mins)
Ask the students to work in a group of 4 (mixed sex if possible) to list the factors that
affect sexuality in 4 categories: social, physical, emotional, spiritual. Ask the
groups to present their work on butcher paper.
Now ask the students to complete the values questionnaire in their Student Resource
Book. Ask them to share their answers with a friend. How are they the same and how
are they different What factors affect your values
c. Conclusion: (10 mins)
Q: True or false. A man’s sexuality is the same as a woman’s.
