Didactic Introduction for Teachers (short commentary)Subject Relevance / Ways of Looking at the Issues

Through their interdisciplinary approach, the specialized texts, pictures and worksheets under the heading "Everyday Life - Single Life" can be used in different class levels and subject areas (social sciences such as ethics, philosophy, etc., geography or religious studies) as well as for inter-disciplinary sequences.

Depending on the subject different discussions and introductory questions are offered:

a) What do we know about Lebanon and its populace?
b) How do young people live - in Beirut and in our country?
c) What is a "temporary marriage"?

The worksheets are organized in the following class levels:

Worksheet 1 - Quiz - "Temporary Marriage" in Islam - Secondary Level
Worksheet 2 - Forms of Cohabitation in Modern Beirut - Secondary Level
Worksheet 3 - Lebanon and its People - Secondary Level
Worksheet 4 - Sex before Marriage in Beirut? - Upper Secondary Level
Worksheet 5 - Being Young in Beirut - Upper Secondary Level

These level allocations are not obligatory or unalterable. They are meant to conform to the previous knowledge of the students and how much time is allowed for the particular subject in class.
