Normal People Lesson Plan

Notes to the Teacher

Normal People recounts scenes of domestic violence, sexual violence (including BDSM), and mental health issues (including depression, anxiety, disordered eating, and suicide). This material may be triggering to some students and the teacher should warn the class ahead of time about each of these occurrences. Emphasize to the students that it is critical that all content is discussed with the utmost respect—the classroom will strictly be a place for respectful, understanding, and compassionate discussion of these issues. Ensure there is support, be it inside the classroom or with a counselor outside of it, for any students who may need it.
