Mini+Lesson+Plan

I wanted to do a lesson plan to educate students' sex education and abstinence. This lesson plan should be taught to freshmen and sophomores in High School. It is important to allow adolescents to understand sex and the precautions they should take with it, as well as being abstinent. My lesson plan starts out with a slide about "Love" because there are so many emotions that are involved in having sex and after sex. My lesson plan will then have a discussion about sexual orientation and gender identity. It is important to discuss both of those subjects because it gives us a better understanding of what we would not normally know or what we do not identify with; it helps break down the stereotypes and gives every a better understanding of those that to not fit the 'norm' of our society. By bringing awareness, hopefully, we could break down the barriers that have been placed upon those that identify differently than the 'norm'. I would then prevent on Abstinence and all that it is. I would then proceed through the male/female reproductive systems. After discussing the reproductive systems I would inform students about pregnancies, contraceptives, and STD's. One thing I really would like to get into, if time permitted would be pleasure. I do not feel as if pleasure is talked about in the sex programs that we currently have today. I feel that if we talked about sexual pleasure then people would know what felt good for them as well as being able to discuss it with their partner, which is extremely important.

Slide 1 - Love
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O763qNbOjBs&feature=player_embedded
 * An emotional experience of feeling a strong sense of affection and attachment
 * An emotional desire to connect with another person
 * A feeling of intense desire and attraction towards a person with whom one is inclined to become one with.

Slide 2 - Sexual Orientation

 * is the whether a person feels sexual desire for people of the other gender, same gender or both genders.
 * Heterosexual, Homosexual, Bisexual
 * Heterosexual
 * attracted to individuals of the opposite sex
 * Bisexual
 * attracted to members of either sex
 * Homosexual
 * attracted to individuals of one's own sex

Slide 3 - Gender Identity

 * does not necessarily mean the biological factor, nor is it based upon our sexual orientation.
 * One may identify being a male, female, both, somewhere in between or even neither.
 * this includes way one speaks, dresses, wear their hair, anything that would indicate masculinity or femininity.

Slide 4 - Abstinence

 * to not have sex
 * one deciding not to have sex currently, waiting until they are married, or not having sex at all through out the duration of their life.
 * Periodic abstinence
 * not having vaginal sex but outercourse
 * sex play that keeps sperm out of the vagina to prevent pregnancy.

Slide 5 - Why one might be abstinent?

 * prevent pregnancy
 * prevent STD's
 * waiting to find the right partner
 * to focus on school, career, or any other extracurricular activities
 * to support personal, moral, or religious beliefs and values

Slide 6 - Talking to your partner about being abstinent.

 * Talk to your partner before any sex play occurs.
 * Be clear as to what behavior is acceptable wand what is not
 * Abstinence can only work if both partners agree

Slide 7 - Female Reproductive System (Internal)

 * Vagina
 * leads to the uterus to the external body
 * Cervix
 * the lower, narrow portion of the uterus where it joins the end of the vagina
 * Uterus
 * one end is connected to the cervix and the other is connected to both sides of the fallopian tubes
 * Fallopian Tubes (oviducts)
 * two fine tubes that leas from the ovaries to the uterus
 * Ovaries
 * where the ova, or eggs, are produced
 * the process by which the ovum (egg) is released is called ovulation
 * the speed of ovulation is periodic and impacts the menstrual cycle

Slide 8 - Female Reproductive System

 * Clitoris
 * The most sensitive erogenous zone of a woman, the stimulation may produce sexual excitement and clitoral erection
 * continuing stimulation may produce sexual pleasure and an orgasm
 * Labia Majora
 * outer lips of the vulva, covered with pubic hair
 * Labia Minora
 * inner lips which surround the vulva
 * Urethral Opening
 * where the urine passes through
 * Opening of the Vagina
 * Also known as the introitus
 * the opening of the vagina
 * Hymen
 * the introitus maybe covered with this membrane tissue at birth

Slide 9 - Male Reproductive System

 * Penis
 * consists of the root, the shaft, and the glans (head of the penis)
 * Scrotum
 * loose pouch-like sac that hangs below and behind the penis
 * contains the testicles (also known as the testes)
 * Testicles (testes)
 * responsible for making testosterone, primary male sex hormone, and where sperm are generated.
 * Epididymis
 * transports and stores sperm cells that are produced in the testes
 * Vas deferens
 * transports mature sperm to the urethra, in preparation for ejaculation
 * Urethra
 * carries urine from the bladder to the outside the body and also allows for the ejaculation of semen
 * Seminal Vesicle
 * sac-like pouches that produces fluid to provide energy for sperm
 * Prostate Gland
 * contributes fluid to the ejaculation
 * Cowper's Gland
 * provides a lubricant

Slide 10 - Pregnancy

 * When the ovum (female egg) is released it will travel down the fallopian tubes to the uterus where it may become fertilized by sperm, leading to pregnancy
 * if semen is released inside the vagina or even around the vulva (where it can travel up through the vaginal canal) and they implant the egg

Slide 11 - Contraceptives

 * Barrier Methods
 * diaphragm, cervical cap, male/female condoms
 * The "Pill"
 * hormonal pill that helps prevent ovulation
 * Patch
 * uses estrogen and progestin to prevent pregnancy
 * Vaginal Ring (IUD)
 * releases hormones to prevent pregnancies
 * Injections
 * prevent ovulation
 * Implants
 * soft tubes that release progesterone to allow the womb to be less likely to accept a fertilized egg and may stop ovulation

Slide 12 - Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STD's)

 * an illness that is transmitted between humans by the means of sexual contact, including vaginal intercourse, oral sex, and anal sex
 * approximately 25 different kinds of STD's
 * be sure to be tested after each partner
