• Handouts with examples of various methods for demonstrating intentional injuries (can be provided before the lesson or distributed during the lesson)

Warm-up

• Start the lesson by asking the students if they have ever seen anyone get hurt on purpose, or if they have ever hurt someone on purpose themselves.
• Ask them to share their experiences and any related questions or concerns they have.
• Follow-up by explaining that while intentional injuries may seem like a strange topic, they are a very real problem in the world today and can have serious consequences.
