EXPLANATION OF YOUR POSTER:

Activity 2: Directions: Read and analyze the short story. Then answer the questions
that follow.

Alice is a 15-year-old student. She is friendly and very smart. At

school, a boy came to her and introduced himself as Martin. He made
friends with Alice. They walk to school together and Martin accompanies
Alice back home after school. She seems to be very happy with Martin. One
day, Martin asked Alice to go with him to their house since his parents were
at work. Without having second thought, Alice went with Martin.
After a month, Alice found out that she had missed her monthly
period. Her mother inquired as to why she appears sleepy every day and
vomits in the morning. She made her assignments into an excuse. She
called Martin over the phone and told him about her feelings. She thinks she
is pregnant. She cried and asked Martin what their next move should be.
Instead of answering the question and giving comfort to her, Martin dropped
the call. Alice bought a pregnancy test kit and got a positive result,
confirming that she was pregnant.
One morning, Alice talked to her mom and cried out loud, admitting
that she was pregnant. Her mom screamed at her in anger and cried.
After two months, Alice miscarried the baby due to excessive
movement.

In answering the questions from the story, make sure that you have your parent
beside you. The best advice to answer the questions from this story will come from
