Junior High
Grades 7th-8th: At this age, young teens need gender clarity and a lot of encouragement! Every Jr. High student is beginning the journey of identity (Who Am I? Am I ok? What is my purpose?) These resources will help them answer key questions on that journey. The resources below are DVD driven, with relationship and sexuality expert Carrie Abbott doing the teaching. A teacher, parent or youth leader will lead the interaction in class or with small groups to personalize the material through discussion. The student workbooks are included allowing you to copy as many as you need. Each resource is five lessons and include fun and interactive activities and plenty of ideas to keep your kids engaged!
7 - You Are Designed To Be Whole
This resource introduces the concept of Sexual Integrity, using the five aspects of each person as the centerpiece. It begins by framing the issue of male and female uniqueness, and then highlights how to live with integrity physically, intellectually, emotionally, socially and spiritually. Students begin to understand their choices leave a ripple or a legacy, even at this early age. Many students are already making decisions about the opposite sex, and this unit helps them manage that process with integrity, while reminding them of the key role of their parents.8- You Are Designed To Be Life-Giving
This resource highlights God’s passion for life, and His prescription written in to the male and female design. While parents will take the lead on the most personal biological information, these lessons create an important understanding of the power of the gift of life and fertility, and the reality that each of us will leave a legacy. Along with practical information about their physical design and choices such as drugs or alcohol that can hurt their story, real stories of life-giving people and their legacies are also introduced. This resource inspires students to create a roadmap for successful decision making as they realize they too can be life-giving people right now!
