Non-computer activities are a part of the class too. These activities are based on topics covered in the CD and they allow students to take the topics one step further through research. Students do all their research for the activities on the Internet. Then they begin the following four activities. The first activity is to create a poster for school display that tells how drugs, cigarettes, or alcohol can harm a developing baby.
Students use the Internet to find information and pictures for their poster.
This is a good way to get students away from the computer for a while and give them a hands-on activity. Once students finish their posters, I put them up in my room. Next, the students write an article for the school newsletter on the importance of exercise for pregnant women. Again, students use Web sites to research the topic. Then we publish the articles in our monthly newsletter.
