It can be a link to an article, video, website, your response to a website, or just a general discussion question. It has to be interesting and thought-provoking. Post it on the main page under "Discussion" (the one with 900+ posts). For every five people (students in your class, peers, friends) that you get to answer your discussion question (or make a contribution of more than 5+ sentences), you and the people who contributed will receive extra marks. Remember questions and contributions must be "academic" in nature (meaning they must be smart and meaningful) and should not be silly, forced, or merely one-word answers.

__In-Class:__

1. Recall the DVD we watched in class depicting the three processes (fertilization, menstruation / ovulation, spermatogenesis) and the development of the embryo and fetus. The entire video and others that we watched capture the most amazing footage from inside a female's body. Indeed, the human body is an incredible machine! IF YOU WERE NOT HERE FOR THE FILM, PLEASE FIND SOMEONE IN THE CLASS THAT YOU TRUST AND BORROW THEIR NOTES!

 * Here are the correct answers to "The Big Three Review" homework worksheets (you are responsible for marking your own):



1. Create a diary for EITHER a sperm or an egg. Make three entries for three different days (does not have to be consecutive days but can be if you want). Be as creative as you want! Your journal entries should be typed, 1-page in length maximum (yes, that's one page maximum so you must be effficient 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.

__Extra Marks:__

1. Create a rhyming couplet poem about the life of a sperm or egg or any of the processes we studied. It must be multiple verses (stanzas) and must be different if you did a song / or or rap for your presentation. Be creative!

Apologies for the postponement of Health classes and potential make-up dates these past two weeks.


 * YOUR NEXT HEALTH CLASS WILL BE: FRIDAY MAY 4 (Day 1) during period 6. **

This is your regularly-scheduled health class: same day, same period. We will be introducing the Substance Use unit. Homework assignments (see above) will be collected at this time. If you are doing the extra credit, please make sure you actually read the article (don't just print it out). A huge thanks and recognition to those great students who handed-in their homework over the past few days. There should be no excuses for missing the homework as you've had more than enough time to complete it!

__**CLASS #1**__: **"SUBSTANCE USE INTRO" (MAY, 4, 2012):**

__In-Class:__

1. We opened the unit by discussing what is a "substance" (anything we put into our bodies) and how all substances fall under one of three categories: Stimulants / Depressants / Hallucinogens. Remember that some substances have multiple classifications! **We want to be armed with good information for when we go to Gr. 8 and high school so that we can make good decisions about our health and say "NO" to harmful substances**. Recall that the term "substances" basically means the more popular drugs and different types of alcoholic beverages.





__Homework__:

1. Choose one of the following substances: Alcohol / Marijuana / Hashish / Ecstasy / Steroids / Cocaine / Crystal Meth / Mushrooms / LSD. Prepare a typed report that answers ALL of the following questions below. *NOTE: You may access the main health link and the websites listed for information: http://deerparkhpe.wikispaces.com/HEALTH (scroll down to the Substance Use section) or you can find your own from a REPUTABLE source. However, YOU MUST USE YOUR OWN WORDS - DO NOT CUT AND PASTE INFORMATION FROM A WEBSITE! Also, do not plaguerize a fellow peer's report.

__Questions__: a) How is the substance classified? Simply list. b) Is the substance legal? Explain in 2-3 sentences. c) What are five short-term effects / dangers of the substance? List of 10-12 points. d) What are five long-term effects / dangers of the substance? List of 10-12 points. e) Find at least two stats about the dangers / usage of the substance. List as many stats as you like BUT you must indicate which website / source you got the information from or else the question will be invalid. f) Why did you choose this particular substance? Explain in 4-5 sentences. g) How dangerous is this substance? Explain in 4-5 sentences (Recall what we said about the concept of "danger" in class.

__Extra Marks:__

1. Answer the above questions for three **more** substances (for a total of four substances in your report).

__**CLASS #2**__: **"THE TALK" (MAY, 18, 2012):**

__In-Class:__

1. We discussed what we learned in general from doing the substance classification assignment. The lessons were crucial: a) You can't be good at two things if one of them is drugs or alcohol! Specifically, you can't be a good _ (student, athlete, friend, family member, employee) when you are abusing a substance. b) Given the serious short and long term effects of any dangerous substance - Why would you ever try it / do it repeatedly before the age of 19 years old? There is no escape from the potential negative effects (including death). c) When you do drugs and alcohol at an early age (12, 13, 14 years old) - it NEVER turns out well. The future is bleak and **addiction** is a very real possibility along with mental and physical disorders that remain with you for life.

2. We read the "Super 6" document from last class (see above if you missed it). Each of the six points (lessons) were explained in detail honestly and directly. The lessons from this discussion are extremely important to this unit and will be revisited. Students asked questions to improve understanding and connect with these six points.

3. The following two documents were handed out. You are responsible for reading the definitions (ex. addiction) and for completing the quiz. Both these documents MUST be brought to the next health class - read and completed.





__Homework__: tttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt 1. Read the definitions page and do the Quiz (both attached above).

2. Go to the following website: [] Complete the document below typed, on a separate sheet of paper to be handed in:



__Extra Marks:__

1. Go to the following link on the Wiki (it is the main HEALTH section on the main page - not your Virtual Classroom): http://deerparkhpe.wikispaces.com/HEALTH Scroll down to the "SUBSTANCE USE RESOURCES / INFORMATION" section. Check out the links provided there. Rank your top three (3) websites that you found most interesting / helpful / informative (your opinion). Under each listing, type 4-5 sentences explaining why you found that particular website interesting / helpful / informative and list its strengths. Why should people go there?
