Off-computer activities are a part of the class too. Students do all their research for the activities on the Internet. I have bookmarked about 20 web sites and use America Online's pregnancy site for research. As of now, I have four activities that they do. 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.
I put the finished posters up in my room. The second activity is to write an article for the school newsletter on the importance of exercise for pregnant women. Students use web sites such as Running on Full to research the topic. The article is published in our monthly newsletter. The next activity is to write a personal letter or position paper to their pregnant teenage son or daughter.
