As each name is read, the student stands. The students standing read the names on their cards and those students stand. When all or most are standing discuss how this illustrates the spread of STIs. Ask students to turn cards over. Read the number of AIDs cases starting with 2 year, then 1 year, then 6 month intervals.
Students unroll the ribbon to match the number of cases.
When done the room will be covered in red ribbon. Construct a series of questions the essay would need to answer. Like any birth control method, abstinence is most effective if used correctly and consistently. Have each student brainstorm the qualities and skills needed to use abstinence and write each one on a slip of paper. Place all the papers in a container - a heart shaped box adds a nice touch.
