Type of Work: Indy Product: Word Doc/Embedded Class Time: 1 Period Class/1 HW EOC: Embed/Snip (Lesson 6) Due: 3 Periods
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 top/down based on level attempted. ----------------Extra Credit Offered for Each Question-------------------

Does this promote promiscuity or should we take advantage of something that could potentially help us?

Yes and its called Gardasil and shots can begin as early as 9. And at age 11-12 routine shots of 3.

Sorta promotes promiscuity, because they have received the vaccination, and what will stop them from engaging in sex again now with better protection. Others may view this as a lesson and say, okay,

series.

Im gonna take it a lot more easier, maybe find someone else or settle down awhile and have more modest sex. It falls in both categories of yes and no.

Level 5/Extra Credit/Going Beyond: Define Herd Immunity and explain how it applies to the debate. Herd Immunity is providing immunity and protection for people who havent fully developed or received proper vaccination. Its related to this project by trying to control the spread of HPV from engaging in sexual activities and sprea ding it to their partners. And so having proper vaccination can help prevent the spread of HPV from both males and females alike.
