3-Jul-19 Giving advice By the end of the session we will be able to… …consider the concepts of positive and negative risk …look at and discuss my perceptions of the severity of risk …be able to weigh up the risk within a given context.

What is the riskiest thing you have done today? What is the riskiest thing you have ever done? Discuss this in pairs or small groups. Be willing to share some of your discussion with the rest of the class. Who do you trust? Why do you trust them?

Mind map an idea on plain paper What is risk? Mind map an idea on plain paper Which of your ideas are positive and which are negative? See the LP to look at prompts to encourage the class to discuss further.

Activity style choices Ask for a group of volunteers to come out to the front of the room while the rest of the class observe. Ask each one in turn to choose a ‘statement’ card (see below) and ask them to place it between the ‘High and ‘Low Risk’ cards according to how ‘risky’ they think the activity on the card is. At this stage they say why they are placing the card on this part of the ladder but it is not open to challenge as yet by the rest of the class everyone must just listen. Have the class place them selves on the ladder of low to high risk, depending on how they personally feel. The whole class will be up, on their feet and participating. You could have the class divided into groups with a set of ‘High Risk’ - ‘Low Risk’ and ‘Statement’ cards for each table. The groups could then give feedback on their findings.

Giving advice In small groups… Chose one of these ‘risky’ scenarios. Use the character dolls in your activity box to create a scenario around this risk. As a small group, give the character advice on how they could avoid this being a risky situation.
