R & C of Sexual Activity: Lesson 6, Analysis of Recent Developments in Repro Health
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-------------------

Higher Level Questions and 3 potential advantages/disadvantages for each issue
Level 4
All information and questions related to issue and embed this into ePortfolio.
Topic 1: The HPV Vaccine Debate

Information Necessary to Understand Topic
Basic Overview: Shot that helps protect against Cervical Cancer
Potential Sources
What it Does Protect Against: 1. Genital Warts 2. Most cervical cancers 3. HPV % of Cervical Cancer Protection: 70%
What it Doesnt Protect (Think!): 1. STDs 2. Pregnancy 3. Women who are already exposed to a type of HPV % of Genital Wart Protection: 90%
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. 1. + Protects against diseases - There are side effects.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
2. + Is safe to have 3. + Provides security
2. - People can use it poorly 3. - Some people may not be protected
How Many Shots:
3 shots over 6 months

Cost: $130
Is there a shot for boys? What is it called?
Does this promote promiscuity or should we take advantage of something that could potentially help us?
Yes, Gardasil
It can help us since it is harm reduction. I dont think it promotes promiscuity but instead helps us be safer.
Topic 2: Emergency Contraception (Plan B)

Basic Overview: Pill used to prevent pregnancy after unprotected sex
Potential Sources
Intended Use (Why people use it): To prevent a pregnancy
How close to failed / no contraceptives: (Time Frame?) 72 - 120 hours
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. 1. + Prevents pregnancy - Careless
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
2. - Side effects 3. - Bad for your system
Do You Need a Prescription?: Only if you are under 17 Mechanism of action-how it works:
Cost: $10- $70
2. + Inexpensive 3. + Better than abortion
It prevents ovulation, changes the movement of the sperm and egg so they are less likely to meet and/or will not release an egg from the ovary
Does this promote people not taking accountability for their choices or provide an alternative to someone not wanting to get pregnant?
It promotes people not taking accountability since it could have been prevented without their careless decision.
Topic 3: The Condom Availability Debate

Potential Sources
Basic Overview: Debate if should condoms be given out at school to students
Provide one stat on teen pregnancy. just under 1/3 of teen girls will get pregnant in their teenage years Cite: Cite: http://www.pregnantteenhelp.org/stati http://www.pregnantteenhelp.org/statis stics/teen-pregnancy-statistics/ tics/teen-pregnancy-statistics/ In your opinion do these statistics warrant public educations involvement? It makes it a bit more accepted for the school to intervene since they may help in preventing some pregnancies
My Level of Agreement: Highlight or Underline One (I think this is.) Really Really Bad For Good for Society Society Potential Advantages Potential Disadvantages Provide one stat on teen pregnancy. 1. 1. Unmarried teenagers have 24% of babies + Prevents pregnancies - Enables kids to have sex
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
2. - Isnt appropriate
2. + Prevents STDs 3. + Keeps teens safer
3. - Promotes underage sex
What does a schools condom availability program look like? Who gets condoms, where, when and how?
They are available in the nurses office. Students can get condoms by taking them and signing their name for it.
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? It may make the
student body safer or more sexually active. I think it overall promotes unhealthy behavior and it isnt appropriate for the school to intervene
Topic 4: The Safe Haven Law

Potential Sources
1 2 3 4 5 6
Basic Overview: Provides safe alternative for abandonment for parents who feel they cannot cope with their child.
Time Frame: Varying age from one month to older
Approved Locations? Government ran places (police office, hospital etc.).
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. 1. + children arent abandoned - nothing is known about child
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
What happens to parental rights? You lose parental rights to this child.
2. + children have chance for good life 3. + parents wont be in trouble for abandonment
2. - children will now be like orphans 3. - children being dropped off may be kidnapped since it is unknown
What is Illinois Law exactly? You can drop off your unharmed child at a safe haven location and you can stay anonymous.
Does this promote people not taking accountability for their choices or provide an alternative to someone not able to provide for a child?
I feel it is good so a child can have a chance for a good life instead of being abandoned. It takes a responsible parent to do this.
