Evaluating and analysing friendships is an important step for students to ensure they are surrounding themselves with people who support and care about them. By thinking about how good friends make them feel and what people should do in friendships, students can critically evaluate their relationships.
Learning Intention
Students examine healthy relationships by developing an understanding of what makes a good friend, and by learning skills to identify warning signs for negative relationships.
Key Outcomes
By the end of the lesson, students will be able to:
- identify how a good friend makes them feel
- identify warning signs of negative friendships
- describe what makes a good friend
- examine friendships and determine whether they are healthy or not.
