Type of Work: Indy Product: Doc/Embedded Class Time: Period EOC: Embed/Snip (Lesson 6) Due: Next Period
Concept: Below are some of the most recent developments related to reproductive health in our society. Your job will be to provide an analysis of these developments. As we discussed in the beginning of the unit sex ed is a values driven topic. These issues are inherently controversial themselves because although there are facts that may help you understand them ultimately you see these facts through the prism of your own perception (values, morals, upbringing, etc.). The sources listed are just a starting point, remember that any information may be biased and it is your job as an educated consumer to carefully analyze information for validity, reliability, and bias. Goal: Provide an analysis of the recent developments in reproductive health demonstrating an understanding of content specific information necessary to understand each issue (ie. What strains are protected against in the HPV vaccine, approved locations for the Safe Haven law). Complete each level (not just 1) working from left to right based on level attempted. ----------------Snip Below This or Delete Top Contents for Evidence of Completion (All Fit on 1 Page) or I will Show You How to Embed-------------------

Topic 2: Emergency Contraception (Plan B)

Information Necessary to Understand Topic

Potential Sources

Basic Overview: Many people do think there are great advantages to the Plan B pill because it has no horrible side effects but gets rid of any mistakes made and seems to usually work in a 5 day time frame.

Intended Use (Why people use it): Engaging in unprotected sex and needing to find something to undo their mistake.

How close to failed / no contraceptives: (Time Frame?) 5 days

My Level of Agreement: Highlight or Underline One (I think this is.) Really Really Bad For Good for Society Society Potential Advantages Potential Disadvantages 1. Prevents accidents 1. Abdominal pains + -

2.Headaches -

2. Proven to be completely safe +

Do You Need a Prescription?: under 17 Mechanism of action-how it works:

Cost: $30-$60

3. Does not cause birth defects +

3. Isnt guaranteed to work -

You take the pill the day after engaging in sexual intercourse and it isnt guaranteed but it should act as a birth control for the day after.

Does this promote people not taking accountability for their choices or provide an alternative to someone not wanting to get pregnant?

This is the alternative after having sex this is the last option if not protected.

Level 5: How is this similar/different than the abortion pill (RU-486)?

Topic 3: The Condom Availability Debate

Information Necessary to Understand Topic

Potential Sources

Basic Overview: The debate is that many have different opinions on if condoms should be given out at school or not.

Provide one stat on teen pregnancy. The greatest drop in teen pregnancies were recorded among Hispanic teens 34% from 2007 to 2011 Cite: http://healthland.time.com/2013/05/24/ whats-behind-the-drop-in-u-s-teen-birthrates/#ixzz2XRG7FOFp

My Level of Agreement: Highlight or Underline One (I think this is.) Really Really Bad For Good for Society Society Potential Advantages Potential Disadvantages 1. Less teen pregnancies because 1. Encouraging students to engage equipment is provided in sexual intercourse + 2. Parents wouldnt have to worry 2. Giving students the wrong idea as much about sex + -

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

In your opinion do these statistics warrant public educations involvement? Im not really sure, because obviously from those stats teen pregnancy is going down. What does a schools condom availability program look like? Who gets condoms, where, when and how?

3. +

3. -

So the big question is how would condom availability affect the student body? Does it promote unhealthy behavior or are you providing a healthy outlet for those that will do it anywaysif so is it even a schools place to get involved?

Level 5/Extra Credit/Going Beyond: What does your research say/cite? Do condoms make a difference? Cite at least 1 study and the results.
