I wanted the students to go through the CD thoroughly, especially since our high school for at-risk students has its share of teen mothers and fathers. Then they draw and label the baby's progress each month. The students use a pregnancy calendar from Olen Publishing that tells a mother what is happening to her body as the baby develops. 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.
