NOTE TO
THE TEACHER
Be sure to clarify the answers to likely
questions during your pre-lesson contacts
with clinics.
The timing of this lesson may vary significantly depending on
which approach you take to the Visit or Call a Clinic assignment.
There may be time to complete How Will You Avoid Pregnancy?
(Worksheet 8.3) in class. If not, do not send it home as
homework. Students should have a chance to focus on Visit or
Call a Clinic.

Tell students this worksheet gives them a chance to review and personalize

and not for class discussion or teacher review. Explain that
this worksheet focuses only on birth control. To prevent infection
from HIVor other STD, other methods may be required.
