Sample Activities:

 

·        HOW CAN I TELL IF I'M REALLY IN LOVE? - Show photos of individuals engaged in various daily activities. Ask students: “Can you tell by looking at these photos if the people are really in love? How? What do you look for?” Develop a set of questions to help students establish criteria for this judgment. Students defend their responses and complete the activity by writing a list of ten ways to tell if you are in love.

Variation: Students interview a parent or older adult about being in love. How did the person know he/she was in love? Were the feelings different as he/she grew older? What does love mean to them now? What did it mean when the person was a young teenager? Students summarize the responses and report to the class for discussion.
