Consent?
Partial Class

At the sight of her friend being taken advantage of at a party, Claudia struggles to find a way to confront the situation as a bystander.

  • What did you see in the video?
  • What do you think this video was about?
  • What stood out to you most in this video?
  • What are the beliefs that our society/your culture has on consent? What have you been taught about the way someone should initiate a sexual activity with another person?

For this video:

  • Does this type of behavior occur in real life?
  • What role do drugs and alcohol play in decisions we make about our personal health choices? Do these choices change at parties and/or other events?
  • When is it easy or difficult to intervene when you see an incident like this unfold? Why do you think many people would not intervene?
  • What do you think Claudia could have done to help?
  • Can a LGBTQ+ person be a victim or perpetrator of a similar situation?

Materials needed: paper, pen

Step 1.

Ask students to take out a sheet of paper (or their journals) and answer these questions:

  • Before this class, had you ever had sexual consent explained to you? Is it important for young kids to learn about consent? Why or why not?

Step 2.

Ask for volunteers to share their quick writes and guide students through a conversation about consent responding to the students' writing.
