LGBT+ Stories Lesson Presentation

The "LGBT+ Stories" lesson presentation is an engaging and thoughtful resource designed for Primary 5-7 students, focusing on the theme of diversity and understanding through storytelling. The lesson begins with a starter activity where students are prompted to discuss where they encounter different stories, using visual aids to stimulate conversation. The central objective of the lesson is to explore whether stories can help us understand and celebrate our differences. The presentation is structured as a learning journey, starting with the question "Why are we talking about this?" and leading students through various activities, including "In someone else's shoes" and "What makes me different?", culminating in a class vote on the topic.

Throughout the lesson, students watch videos that showcase individuals sharing personal experiences, such as Gonzo from "Muppets Babies" wearing a princess dress, Lucy who went blind and shares her story on YouTube, and Gran Gran discussing her journey from the Caribbean to the UK. After each video, students are encouraged to reflect on what they learned, the content of the story, and the reasons behind sharing these stories. The lesson provides opportunities for discussion, with challenges that prompt deeper thinking about the importance of self-expression and understanding others. The presentation concludes with a vote where students express their opinions on whether stories help us understand our differences, encouraging them to articulate their thoughts and listen to the perspectives of others.
