Page 5—Boys’ and girls’ expectations Do a “what boys want/what girls want out of relationships” activity with the entire class. To generate the two lists, you can either take responses from the whole class, writing them on the board, a flip chart, etc., or divide the class into boys and girls and have both groups brainstorm each list. If you divide the class, have each group share their completed lists with each other. This activity may generate spirited discussion. Based on the lists your students create, talk about how girls’ and boys’ expectations in relationships may differ.
