Pruebas de Amor
Partial Class

Step 1.

Assign students into groups of four.

Step 2.

Tell them that they are going to reenact the scene in “Pruebas de Amor” four different times and will cast themselves in different roles each time (parents, female teen, male teen, and medical staff). The person playing the role of the parent/guardian should wear the accessory.

Step 3.

Students should take turns sharing how their parents or guardians would react if they caught them at the clinic. Students should also practice how they could talk to their parents or guardians to explain their intentions and why they need their understanding and support.

Step 1.

Divide students into groups of five.

Step 2.

Give each group a large flip chart sheet and a few markers. Tell them to discuss and write down the group members’ responses to the questions below. They can all take turns writing the group’s responses or have them select one recorder for the group.

• What do you like/dislike about visiting a medical office?
• How should medical office staff behave to make you comfortable during your visit? (Make sure to talk about your experiences with the different medical staff you learned about.)
• What should a clinic have (waiting room, intake room, examination room) that would make it teen-friendly?
• What is the proper etiquette of patients when they make an appointment, check-in, sit in the waiting area, enter the examination room, speak to a medical professional? How do some people behave that may be considered inappropriate?

Step 3.

Ask groups to take turns sharing their responses and poster with the class. Look for similar responses and highlight unique and interesting ones.
