If you're looking to open the floor for honest and meaningful conversations around sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, and biological sex in your sexual health unit... you've just found your activity!
 
This lesson includes a fully editable 20+ slide deck for an opening lecture designed to keep teens awake with critical thinking questions relevant to them. From there, it transitions into a hexagonal thinking activity where students connect terms and ideas discussed into their own formations. There’s no “right” answer, allowing space for discussions, debates, and various perspectives!
 
What makes this resource awesome for teens? It’s made FOR THEM, NOW, in 2025. That means it references recent controversies around gender roles, masculinity, and femininity. We’re talking discussions about Andrew Tate, the “soft girl” era, the “girl boss” trend, and Mark Zuckerberg’s recent comments on masculinity. The goal is to keep these conversations open-ended, letting curiosity and wonder lead the way. Want a closer look? Check out the preview video!
