-=== Updates from Unitarian Universalist Church of Charlotte ===
-'''The Need:''' In just the last 5 years our teens have begun to rely on media for their social interactions.  The OWL 7-9 curriculum we are currently using has not been updated since 1999.
-We are offering supplemental material which includes movies, websites, and social media sites as a supplement to the program to hopefully more fully engage the class. The material is posted below, by session.
-'''Equipment/Resource Needs:''' Will need internet connection for the web-based media, a TV for the movie and TV show clips, and a computer and projector for the PowerPoint presentation; the clips may work better with the projector set up.  The following media are needed: the movie, ''Juno''; the movie, ''MurderBall''; the DVD of ''DeGrassie'' Season __; the documentary, ''(Sex)abled''; a copy of the  Learning Channel's ''Baby Story''; the web site “That’s not Cool”; other optional material.

-== Session 7: Disability and Sexuality ==
-=== Update from Unitarian Universalist Church of Charlotte ===
-Objective:  To provide a visual story of people with disabilities as sexual.
-Recommendation: Run session as listed with the Reading and the “What would you do?” activity then take 10 minutes at the end of the session to show the movie clip from MurderBall, scene 7, A Jock.  This scene depicts men in wheelchairs talking about masturbation and how they are sexual with a partner.  May not be suitable for less mature group.  Preview both this clip and the following documentary to decide which to use with your group.  You may wish to use both and, if so, time other activities appropriately.
-Alternative / Add-on – show DVD, (Sex)abled, produced by University of California students.  15 minute  Discussion questions

-=== Update from Unitarian Universalist Church of Charlotte ===
-'''Objective:'''  To use visual media to discuss teen homosexuality.
-'''Recommendation:''' Use the Guided Fantasy activity first; the surprise in it is what provides the most emotional reflective value.  Proceed to the Lecturettes, and then do the Match the Identity activity. Finally consider watching the Degrassi (Canadian television series about teens, at degrassi.tv) episode “Pride”, it takes about 20 minutes to run and depicts many aspects of teen homosexuality.  Take time to reflect on how we may unintentionally use degrading language and how we might not be able to be a good listener depending on our own beliefs.  Prepare for the guest panel with the fresh processing you have just accomplished.
