Puberty: The Wonder Years Grade 6 “I Wonder What Happens Next”
Synopsis“I Wonder What Happens Next” lessons begin with a review of prior knowledge about puberty and devel-opment of guidelines for a safe and productive classroom climate. Students learn about reproduction, fetal development, reproductive anatomy and physiology, and the social-emotional changes in puberty. Students learn to differentiate between respectful, healthy relationships versus disrespectful, unhealthy relationships. Students practice interpersonal skills for healthy relationships and refusal skills for risky sexual situations. The emphasis is on motivating young people to make behavioral choices that will keep themselves healthy now and for future reproductive health. Optional lessons are provided on genetics, refusal skills, and risk reduction strategies.
Four additional optional lessons are provided on genetics, standing up to peer pressure, and prevention of disease and pregnancy. Because students at this age are becoming more independent and social, some will be on the cusp of making decisions regarding sexual activity; thus, they will benefit from the additional instructional time and skill-building practice that comes with the additional optional lessons.
