Description of activity
Students will read a case study that represents a realistic risk situation for young people. They complete a series of questions that require them to analyse the social situation outlined, to assess risk and determine appropriate action to ensure the safety of themselves and others. The activity can be done in 1-2 lessons or as a homework task.
Context
In this unit students have identified and analysed the influences on risk behaviour in contexts relevant to young people. They have also explained the consequences of unsafe drug use and sexual behaviours. Through the use of a scenario this activity presents students with a realistic context in which to further analyse the influences on risk behaviour and propose strategies to keep themselves and others safe.
Areas for Assessment
Outcomes
A student:5.6 analyses attitudes, behaviours and consequences related to health issues affecting young people
5. 7 analyses influences on health decision-making and develops strategies to promote health and safe behaviours
5.12 adapts and applies decision-making processes and justifies their choices in increasingly demanding contexts
5.16 predicts potential problems and develops, justifies and evaluates solutions.
Criteria for assessing learning
(These criteria would normally be communicated to students with the activity.)
Students will be assessed on their ability to:
- describe the factors that are impacting on the health behaviours of individuals
- predict the consequences of potentially harmful situations
- place themselves in the scenario and justify their choices and behaviours
- develop strategies which promote safe behaviour.
