TEEN SCENE: Lessons designed especially for teenagers
It’s difficult to be a teenager in today’s society. Youth today face a world of moral confusion. The TALKSHEET GUIDE* below is designed as a springboard for discussion to encourage students to take part in an open, honest conversation by talking about real life issues that relate to them.
Talksheets are designed to allow more discussion and less lecture-style teaching. Instructor may choose (1) how many questions to use and (2) the wording of the main points—keep what’s provided, or change the wording to make it clearer for your audience.
