Georgise i like your activity i believe it is a very common issue in our society and our students will be able to relate to it very well. I also like the social action aspect because it will allow students to be able to express themselves to the parents and by doing so parents themselves will be informs about an issue which is present right here in our own back yards. Well done

Subject: H.F.L.E
Topic: Sexually Transmitted Disease
Age Group: 15-16
THE CHOICES YOU MAKE, THE CHANCES I GET
Weeeee!!
I love how I can take over your entire body
It can only take one of me
I can crawl into your skin and creep you out!
Think you can get rid of me?
Think again
Hahahhahahahaha
I am in control now!!
I love how I can take you silly little cells
And turn them into my army of destruction
Aren’t you intimidated yet?
I can slither in like a thief in the night and no one will know of me
Maybe after a while, when I gave full control
I can make you sick to your stomach!
Disgusted???
Maybe that’s my full intention
You can’t get rid of me that easily
Especially if your window period has been open of months!!!
Mwahhahahaha
I have the capability to call my dear friend Cancer and Tuber to make your life miserable
Tsk tsk tsk
But if I do feel sorry for you, I can give you just one chance
One chance to prevent me from building my deadly army inside you
So stay away because I’m not written on anyone’s face
Prevention is definitely better than cure
Take caution and Remember viruses are never your friends!!!
Deconstruction: Students will be given a poem written by the teacher entitled "The Choices You Make, The Changes I Get" to get students to think of what the poem is trying to communicate to them.
Reconstruction: Students will develop awareness of sexually transmitted diseases especially HIV and will produce a slogan or jingle against the disease based on the message in the poem
Social Action: In order to make persons aware of the virus and its downfalls, students will create posters to place around the school with their slogans. This will allows students to education their peers about the virus.

Lawrin, I liked the fact that you showed the children how maths applies to their everyday lives. I personally don't like dealing with numbers if I cannot see the immediate relevance of it. Therefore I think it will motivate the students and maintain their interest.

Commndable job on k.Thomas's activity. I would definitely want to be involved in this lesson. Simply because I know I would enjoy reading this poem. It can be stated that many students will be able to relate to the poem and further more their interest in HFLE will be stimulated. Good job K.Thomas.

Lawrin Chquot: i really love your activity involving whole numbers. Many times students do not understand the importance of numbers and how they are used in their every day lives. I will surely use this as a first lesson when i will be teaching the concept of numbers.
