 * =Brief Summary of Unit= ||
 * The purpose of this unit on healthy choices is to make students aware of the drug, sexual and relationship choices that will arise in their life and the consequences that each can entail if the choice chosen was a negative one. Students will not only get the knowledge of the different drugs, sex, and pregnancy, but also how to react to being in situations they know can have negative consequences on their lives. Students will learn the critical details, vocabulary, and factual information about tobacco, healthy relationships, unhealthy relationships, and pregnancy. Students will understand that unintended pregnancies can be avoided using any of the various types of contraceptives and birth control, that they will always have choices when it comes to substances such as tobacco and alcohol, and healthy relationships are important to being healthy. Students will be able three essential questions such as; how can I avoid pregnancy that could be unintended? How do the choices I make about substances affect my health? Why are having healthy relationships so important? Students will get to watch movie clips, read blogs, and listen to guest speakers, from the women’s prison, which have been put in certain situations. Students will also get to learn of the different choices that the guest speakers made whether they are positive, negative, or both. Students will be assessed formatively after every lesson so that I can see the mastery of the topic that was taught. The students will work through six lessons in the unit, each lesson will require the student to reach into their creative mind and produce a product using type II technologies. These technologies include wiki, i-movie, inspiration, comic life, podcasts, and video logs. ||
