My Goals for This Week:
Have an outline for the lesson plans (time frame, things to cover, how etc.) to work off of, and start work on the first lesson plan.
My Mentor:
I have been emailing my mentor about recommended sources and upcoming mentor meetings.
My Research:
My first lesson plan is a basic introduction, talking about the basic biology of the reproductive system. I've decided to write my plans for a 45 minute class time, but if I have time later I plan on changing them to hour long classes (or whatever the class time average is in the United States).
In Texas, you are required to take a semester of health education. Sex education is only one part of that class, so I planned out my lesson plans to go with a 2 week unit of 45 minute classes. Again, if I have the time I will expand it to a 3 week unit that accounts for different class times.
Here's the outline for the other lesson plan topics:
-Day 2: Pregnancy (biology, birth)
-Day 3: Pregnancy (personal impact of)
-Day 4: STDs
-Day 5: STDs
-Day 6: HIV/AIDS
-Day 7: Abstinence, how to decline/avoid unwanted sexual advances
-Day 8: Other forms of contraceptives (male usage)
-Day 9: Other forms of contraceptives (female usage)
-Day 10: Review Day
My Goals for Next Week:
Continue my work on the lesson plans and turn in my second deadline.
