Last Thursday was my first time interacting with the young adults at Good Sam. I noticed lots of unspoken rules and non verbal communication going on between the "kids" and counselors.
I was observing the male teens from the back of the class while Jeanette, Christina and Byron were giving the sex education presentation. Most of them did not seem to be listening or avoid eye contact. The biggest surprise was when questions were asked, most of them could answer them! So, do not be fooled by their appearances. They were listening despite they do not look interested!
Back when we were all going through our training phase, several guest speakers mentioned to make the class fun. Now, I fully understand from first hand experience that making the class fun is important. The young adults liven up immediately when they heard they are playing a game i.e The Sperm-Egg Fertilization game.
Jeanette and I both agreed, that even though we do not know how much information these teens could remember, but if they could retained as much as 5% of the content taught, we have helped them build on their knowledge on sex education.
