Getting Smart About The Pill

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

By working in pairs your students can discuss choosing to take the birth control pill. After reading a pamphlet they test their knowledge through the use of a quiz using very delicate material. Quiz material and readings are provided.  The sensitive material here should certainly be previewed completely to ensure appropriateness for your students, and whether you choose to group your students or have a teacher-led discussion is up to you.
