The unit plan aims to teach 9th and 10th grade students about safe sex and sex education over the course of a week. Most students have a basic understanding of the topics but learning will be reinforced through a variety of methods. The plan includes discussing puberty and reproductive systems, watching an informative video about STDs, and a hands-on demonstration of proper condom usage. Guest speakers and computer research will also be incorporated to engage visual and hands-on learners. The objective is for students to understand and categorize key concepts accurately by the end of the week.
