Students who get all four "guesses" correct for the second question (b), may be eligible to receive a prize!









__**CLASS #2**__: "**THE WHAT". . . "THE WHERE". . . "THE WHY"**

__In-Class:__

-Anatomy discussion (definition and function) of the female and male reproductive systems using the homework documents listed above. DO NOT FORGET TO BRING THESE DOCUMENTS TO CLASS! -Analysis of each of the photos shown above using the homework questions: a) What's happening, b) Next steps, c) Importance. -More amazing photos from the GREATEST BOOK EVER: //Life// by Lennart Nilsson.

Choose different photos than the ones shown above from Class #1's homework (some photos are repeated but there are 17 others to choose from)!

__Extra Marks:__

1. Find your own article about Teens and Sexuality (teaching and learning aspects, respect issues, differences bewteen boys and girls) from any reputable source. You can use appropriate websites (some can be accessed under the main HEALTH section on this site's homepage) or current magazines, newspapers, major publications. Bring the article to class. Make sure it is appropriate.

__**CLASS #3**__: **"DECISIONS, DECISIONS, DECISIONS"**

__In-Class:__

1) Discussion about the homework article: "//The Most Important Sex Talk of All.//" The lessons from this article are multifold:
 * Respect sex and the importance of the decision to engage in sexual behaviour in a teenager's life. It is a personal decision guided by mental, physical, and emotional consequences. Sexual behaviour should not produce harm.
 * The negative messages found in the media and how disrespectful and erroneous these messages are for all people but mainly for boys since they are often unsure of what is good, acceptable, behaviour.
 * The positive messages that need to be affirmed with parents. Even though it is a "courageous conversation" in a culture where counter-messages are everywhere, teens will still hear every word a parents say and model their behaviour.

2) Discussion about the terms: //Sex, Sexy, Sexuality// and the concepts involved in how we define / use these terms. Included in this discussion is the importance of the decision to have sexual intercourse and typical reasons teens give to have sex.


 * THIS DOCUMENT IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT FOR THE UNIT TEST!**

__Homework:__

1. Choose **one** of the Webhunts below. The website to be used is listed on each document. The document should be filled out completely and ready for next health class.





__Extra Marks:__

1. Do both WebHunts.

__**CLASS #4 (March 24)**__: **"CONTRACEPTIVE CHOICES"**

__In-Class:__


 * All of the following points of information are required knowledge for the test (and for life):**

1) Difference between the terms "Conception" (sperm meeting ovum / start of life / pregnancy) and "Contraception" (the term c//ontra// means "against" or "prevention of").

2) Basic Premise:
 * You need to be armed with this information so that you can make informed decisions about engaging in sexual intercourse ON YOUR OWN. These decisions ARE NEVER TO BE MADE under pressure (peers, boyfriend / girlfriend) or when you are under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Having sex is a major decision (recall last class) that should be made individually and should be planned for by both people involved. There are multiple effects (mental and physical including self-esteem and STI's and pregnancy) that can dramatically change your life.

3) BEFORE thinking about a contraceptive method, a person must follow these three steps:
 * Talk & Trust - talk to your partner and developing a trusting relationship where communication is open and frank.
 * Choose the best method based on both people in the relationship (e.g., this could be abstinence)!
 * Access the birth control method and plan ahead!


 * Here, we spoke in class about the dangers of **"one-night-stands"** and the difference between a healthy, loving, long term relationship and a disrespectful incident that has serious consequences.


 * We also spoke about a person's personal continuum of sexual acts (e.g., kissing / touching to vaginal sex) and what is appropriate for engaging in all types of sexual behaviours. This contiuum should not be threatened since it is obviously individual and affects your comfort and enjoyment. Where do you draw the boundary line? Well, you draw it at the point where you feel comfortable versus uncomfortable.
 * 4) Contraceptive Chart / Myths:** THESE DOCUMENTS ARE EXTREMELY IMPORTANT FOR THE UNIT TEST!





Other contraceptive methods from the handout are to be researched using the websites from Class #3 on your own (see below). They are fair game for the test!
 * Here, we spoke about "Plan B" (the Emergency Contraceptive Pill) and how it is not a safe birth control method but instead should only be used in unavoidable situations (it is extremely expensive for just two pills per box).

__Homework:__

1. Choose five contraceptive methods from the handouts (given in class or accessed above). Research the methods using the following links (the websites we used for the WebHunts):

[] []

Answer the following FOR EACH OF THE FIVE METHODS: a) What type of contraceptive is it (e.g., barrier)? What is involved (brief description)? b) What are the advantages of this method? c) What are the disadvantages of this method?

__Extra Marks:__

1. Choose five more contraceptive methods (10 total) and answer a), b), and c).

__**CLASS #5 (April 7)**__: **"STI's (Sexually Transmitted Infections)"**

__In-Class:__

**kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk** **kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk**
 * Recall the conversation we had at the start of class about the increasing cases of STI's reported among teenagers in North America (they are on the rise) and how knowledge = safety and freedom in your relationships.**
 * The following document is extremely important for the test:**

__Homework:__


 * Note: There were some revisions to the Contraceptive Choices Handout (I also added the effectiveness rates based on current research).**
 * Below is the document that you should use for the test - please re-read this document:**



1. Read and complete the following worksheets:



2. Continuing the lessons from the last two classes, answer the following questions on a separate piece of paper:

A) What are ALL the ways a person can contract an STI? B) What are ALL the ways a person can prevent an STI?


 * Remember to think out side the box in your answers and to be specific and creative (each questions should have an answer of approx 5-10 sentences). For example, we know of some things a person can do physically to prevent STI's (barrier methods), but what about mentally? Level 4+ answers will explore the mental and physical aspects of making good decisions.

__Extra Marks:__

1. Create a song, rap, or poem based on your response(s) to the questions above that might enlighten us! You may present it with a partner or group. It should be no more than 2 minutes and it can be handed in on a USB, disc, or presented in class. Creativity is crucial here (as is maturity)!


 * __Class #6: "Test Review"__ **

Below is a Word Document with the test format and sample questions. The documents listed below that are essential to study for the test. These are not new documents (they are from the classes above), but I have listed them all here for you:
 * Date of Health test: Wednesday, May 11, 2011---Day 5, Period 6 + 7**




 * __SUBSTANCE USE UNIT__: **

__Pre-Unit Homework__:

THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS NEED TO BE COMPLETED **BEFORE** THE FIRST SUBSTANCE-USE CLASS. I will collect this homework at the start of your next regular health class.



__Extra Marks:__

1. Find an current article from a reputable source (newspaper, magazine, internet) about Teens and Drug & Alcohol Use. Bring the article to class to hand-in.


 * __Class #1 (May 19)__: Presentations (Tom Walker + "Cracked Not Broken") & Lessons Learned **

__In-Class & School-Wide__:


 * This week we had two major presentations about the use of drugs and alcohol, the dangerous road to addiction, and positive decision-making. We discusssed the two presentations in class while also reviewing the classification of substances. EVERY DOCUMENT BELOW (4 total) MUST BE READ AND UNDERSTOOD NOT ONLY FOR THE TEST - BUT FOR YOUR LIVES AND FUTURES. Please pay attention to the homework as it will be collected next class.



__Extra Resources For You To Look At:__



[|JADE BELL: HARPOONED SOUL] (Go to "Media" and choose "Audio" for the Vicki Gabereau interview)

[|JADE'S KIDS FOUNDATION]

The above links tell the story of Jade Bell - a young man who excelled at music and sports and enjoyed a great life but tragically slipped into a world of drugs and alcohol at an early age. His occasional substance use eventually led to excess and addiction. What happened to him next is absolutely heart-breaking and unimaginable. As you go through his story, remember that although he is different now, he was once like you. His downward spiral and current reality started with trying drugs and alcohol once. Be ready to discuss Jade's story in Gr. 8 health class.

__Homework:__ llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll 1. Go to following link and watch the 45-minute film entitled "The Downside of High" (Click on the link "Watch This Video" found in the shaded box below the main photo). Do not come to next health class without having seen this video (watching it with your parents is encouraged). lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll 2. Make sure you take notes while watching it since information from the film will be on the test at the end of the unit and the notes that you take will be checked as homework NEXT CLASS (minimum 1 page of notes). After watching the film, answer these questions below your notes (1 good paragraph per question): 1) What is a common message reflected in all three Substance Use presentations you have seen and heard these past two weeks: Tom Walker / Cracked Not Broken / Downside of High? Which of the three presentations had the biggest impact on you? Explain your answer with comparisons.

__[]__ 

__The Downside of High:__  The following document contains the main points from the online film "The Downside of High". Even those these notes are available to you, they do not replace actually watching the film, as it will be discussed next Health class and is a part of your Unit test.
