Activity 2: Lessons in love

Year Level: Years 6/7 – 8/9

Description: This sequence of learning experiences draws upon Mortified, Episode 16: DJ Taylor and Lockie Leonard, Episode 8: The Details, to explore self-awareness, relationships, respect and compassion for other people's feelings when dealing with crushes and feelings of love.

In Mortified, it is Valentine's Day and Taylor wrongly thinks that Leon has sent her a Valentine present. Consequently, she betrays a secret told to her by Hector in order to impress Leon.

In Lockie Leonard, it is Lockie's 13th birthday and he is scared and confused about the details of being the boyfriend of Vicki. Consequently, he behaves even more strangely when he meets Dot, the young surfer girl.
