Slide Deck

Scenario 1: Emotional Boundary

Show an illustration of two friends sitting and talking. Explain that emotional boundaries protect our feelings and private thoughts. Prompt students: “What feelings might Jordan have when pressured? How could Jordan set a boundary kindly?”

Scenario 2: Physical Boundary

Use a simple graphic of two classmates—one reaching out, the other stepping back. Remind students that physical boundaries protect our bodies. Ask: “How could Taylor say no and still be polite?”

Scenario 3: Digital Boundary

Display an icon of a phone with constant message bubbles popping up. Discuss healthy digital habits. Invite ideas for polite text timing rules.

Scenario 4: Privacy & Digital Sharing

Show a social-media post illustration. Highlight consent before sharing. Ask: “How could you ask permission first? What might you say if someone posts your photo unexpectedly?”

Scenario 5: Time & Personal Space Boundary

Use an image of a student studying alone. Emphasize respect for others’ time and focus. Ask: “What could Sam say to set a time boundary? How can Alex respect that?”
