Peeking into a class room of young kids, pre-teens, and
teens, you see individuals of various backgrounds. These students may walk in
with more or less knowledge of a certain subject than the peer sitting next to
them. However, the teacher’s lesson plans in the class room start from zero.
They cover the basic and build up to more complex concepts appropriate for that
age group. The same applies to sex education, some students may have had a
conversation with a parent while others would never think of touching on that
subject with anyone. This is a problem. The reason I bring up the lesson plan
starting “from zero”, from its most basic form, is because in the rally if this
text reminded me of just that. Teens walked in rally thinking a “girl couldn't
get pregnant the first time she had sex”, others had prior knowledge about
STD’s. The informative readings on
teen pregnancy and other health-related issues are important for teens
to go over. The games listed in the article and summary are a very engaging way
of informing teens about early pregnancies and the consequences of having
unprotected relations. There
exciting activities, taking away from the uncomfortable classroom lectures. Fun
rallies and fairs like the one in Orange County,
California really is a good
example to follow by the other states. The summary covered important points
like the decrease in birthrates. From the summary, one can tell the reader
fully understands the main points of the article and will be able to use this
information correctly in future prompts.
