The eighth-grade lesson “Strategies To Reduce Risks” contains the aforementioned activity on correct condom use, discussions on abstinence, and “Effectiveness of Family Planning Methods” scavenger hunt.
The district’s seventh grade lesson plan titled “Preventing Pregnancy” presents to students a variety of ways to avoid getting pregnant. These methods include abstinence, using sponges, the pill, patches and rings, a shot, IUD’s and implants.
