For teachers
Teacher center
This site, arranged for a class: a lesson outline, the activities our students ran, discussion prompts and printables.
Lesson outline
The Awareness page in teaching order. Each part opens the matching section, ready to show on a screen.
- What breast cancer isKnowing the basics makes it easier to notice a change and to talk about it.
- Why early detection mattersFinding breast cancer early changes what treatment can do.
- Signs to discuss with a doctorNoticing a change is a reason to see a doctor, not a reason to panic. If something worries you, talk to a parent, a teacher you trust or a doctor.
- Risk factorsTalking about risk is never about blame. Many risk factors cannot be changed, and having one does not mean a person will get breast cancer.
- Screening by age and riskHealth bodies do not all give the same advice: they differ on when to start, how often, and whether to recommend breast self-examination. Each statement shows the year of its source. A doctor can say which applies to you.
- Myths and factsCommon beliefs, and what health bodies say.
- Supporting familyWhen someone at home is diagnosed, the whole family feels it. These points come from the US National Cancer Institute; most are written for caregivers, and they apply to anyone who helps.
Activities to run
What our students did during the campaign. Each page shows how it went.
- Awareness cards and messagesStudents carried baskets of roses, treats and awareness cards to the school's offices and classrooms.

Discussion prompts

Which of the beliefs on the myth cards had you heard before? Where did you hear it?
Using the Awareness page, explain in your own words why finding breast cancer early makes a difference.
