What kind of characters would be featured in your video (girls, boys, adults, teens, super-heroes, cartoons)? What would they look like? What dialogue would you use?

__Class #5 (Tues. Dec. 9 Day 3 Per. 6): THE TEST__

__In Class__:

2. Examine diagrams of the female and male reproductive systems. Discuss important parts and functions.









__Homework__:

1. Read the following Puberty Review. Choose five points that you think are important to know or that you found interesting or that you remember learning about before.

2. Below Question #1 on the same document, type three questions that you have about puberty and the Growth & Development Unit. Each question should be different (don't list three questions about identical twins). If you already know everything there is to know about this unit, then think of common questions that a typical person your age might have.

__Extra Marks:__

1. Type a paragraph (8-10 sentences) about the following: Why do we have to learn about this stuff? Why is it important? Why is it a harder subject to learn about than Language, Geography, History? Should schools leave it up to your parents to tell you about Growth & Development?

__In Class__:

1. Homework check.

2. Watch the provocative film: "LIFE'S GREATEST MIRACLE". Students are required to take notes that will be checked next class as "Class Participation" marks.

The film shows the three processes (fertilization, menstruation / ovulation, spermatogenesis) and the development of the embryo and fetus.

__ADDITIONAL RESOURCES__:

The following are diagrams and short / safe videos that can further help in your studying, or promote further understanding if you missed anything in class:

[|Female Reproductive System] NOTE: Click on the MENSTRUAL CYCLE video. Scroll over all parts on the diagram to see their definition / function (highlighted in green).

[|Male Reproductive System Diagrams] NOTE: Scroll over all parts on the diagram to see their definition / function (highlighted in green).

media type="youtube" key="_5OvgQW6FG4" width="560" height="315"

__Homework__:

1. Read the following documents about the three reproductive processes:







2. Complete the following worksheet based on the three documents above. TRY TO COMPLETE THE WORKSHEET WITHOUT LOOKING AT YOUR NOTES (meaning: have you really learned anything?). The "Fact and Myth" section may be difficult but try your best! If you have any questions or want clarification (especially since the test is coming up), write them down and bring them to next class.



__Extra Marks:__

1. Choose ONE of the following:

a) Create a diary for EITHER a sperm or an egg. Type three entries for three different days (does not have to be consecutive days but can if you want). Be creative and apply what you have already learned. There is no right or wrong answer but there are tons of facts you can use from the class film: "LIFE'S GREATEST MIRACLE" **AND** the documents above. Your journal entries should be typed, combined 1-page in length ** maximum ** (yes, that's one page maximum for all three entries, so be efficient in your writing), and should be grammatically correct. Evidence of learning of the three processes should be apparent from your entries as you are all familiar with what happens to these cells in terms of reproduction.

OR. ..

b) Create a rhyming couplet poem about the life of a sperm or egg or any of the three processes we studied. It must be at least 4 verses. The best poems will be rewarded by Mr. Mann (not to mention the extra marks)!

These three categories indicate what the substance does to your CNS (Central Nervous System). All substances affect your actions, perceptions, and behaviours. Remember that some substances have multiple classifications! **You want to be armed with proper information for when you go to Gr. 8 and high school so that you can make good decisions about your health and say "NO" to harmful substances**. Recall that the term "substance" basically means the more popular drugs and different types of alcoholic beverages. Here is the final copy of the chart that we did in class. The whole document is extremely important - especially the "Notes" at the start:

1. Prepare a typed report that answers ALL of the following questions below (a - g) about MARIJUANA and **one** **additional substance** from this list: Alcohol / Hashish / Ecstasy / Steroids / Cocaine / Crystal Meth / Mushrooms / LSD / Prescription Drugs. *NOTE: YOU MUST USE YOUR OWN WORDS - DO NOT CUT AND PASTE INFORMATION FROM A WEBSITE and say it is yours!

__Class #2 (Tues. Apr. 7 Day 3 Per. 6): Marijuana + DaFacts__

__In Class__:

1. Video: Marijuana. You must take notes. *NOTE: If you were away for this class - you missed a very informative video and should catch-up by borrowing a peer's notes and re-writing them yourself (this is for marks + the test!). You must have your own notes to get the full homework marks and they cannot be photocopied. While the video is on, I will check your homework making sure you have good answers for questions a) - g) for Marijuana + one other substance (or four others for a total of five if you did the Extra Marks).

2. Distribute a cool and handy magazine called "DaFacts." It is about various substances and teens. Students are allowed to keep the magazine and are encouraged to show it to parents. Some of you will want to hold onto it for a few years (it is THAT good and you may want more information in the future) The magazine is also needed to complete the homework below:

__Homework__:

 * __HOMEWORK ABSENTEES__: **

__Class #3 (Tues. Apr. 14 Day 3 Per. 6): Why Do People Do Drugs?__

__In Class__:

1. In groups of 3-4 (perform the following IN ORDER):

a) Discuss and list as many reasons as possible as to why teenagers do drugs and alcohol. Be specific and detailed. b) Discuss and list as many consequences as possible of drug use by teenagers. Be specific and detailed. c) Do you think drug use has increased since your parents were at school? Why or why not? Write down your answer and the reasons why you think this way.

While you are discussing and compiling these lists in your groups, I will check your Drugs & Addiction Scavenger Hunt homework. If you did the Extra Marks and have the article and brief summary, please hand it to me at this time.

2. Class note and discussion about the consequences of drug use short and long term. The notes will draw upon and expand on the group discussions you just had. Some answers might surprise you. You will be tested on these consequences.



__Homework__:

1. Look at everything we have learned in class and for homework thus far in the Substance Use unit. Create 7 multiple choice questions with 4 possible answer-options per question (a, b, c, d). Indicate WHICH answer is the correct one by highlighting, circling, or simply listing it. The best responses will be typed and will reflect questions and answers from all classes (not just questions about a drug's classification). If they are good enough, I may use your questions on the upcoming test and for the incoming Gr. 7's next year!

__Extra Marks__:

1. We have all seen commercials about drug and alcohol prevention geared towards teens. This is your chance to improve them. Pretend you are a director in charge of making a commercial geared towards either teenage girls and / or boys with the clear message to avoid drugs and alcohol at all costs. Describe your video. What would you show? What would your message be? Would you have a catch-phrase? How would you get your message across (ex. humour, drama, song)? What type of setting would you use? What kind of characters would be featured in your video ex. girls, boys, adults (parents, teachers), super-heroes, cartoons)? What would they look like and what would they do? What dialogue would you use? You will be assessed on your ability to convey a strong message not necessarily the quality of commercial. In other words, this does not have to be perfect but is your chance to get creative so have fun with it!
