Sexuality and You

In the grade 1o Life Transitions curriculum there is a unit on Human Sexuality. In this unit you are to teach students about things such as safe sex and about different diseases that can occur from having sex. I found a great website called Sexualityandu, which teaches students all about sexuality and sex. This site will answer all the questions that students may have about sex and about specific kinds of diseases that you can acquire from having sex. This site is great for students because many of them are to embarrassed to ask questions they may have about the female or male body parts. While looking through the site, trying to figure out the best way to use this in the classroom, I found a great game called Sex-Fu Challenge. This is a game that asks you 10 true or false questions at a time about the male and female body and about certain things related to sex and if you get at least 7 right you can move to the next levels. They will ask the students questions like "Having sex while in the vertical position (such as standing up) is an effective way to prevent pregnancy,"and each time you answer a question, an explanation will come up for the students explaining why the answer was as such.

To use this website in my classroom I would have the students go to the site at the start of my unit. I would try to get an understanding as to where the students are on their knowledge of the male and female systems and about sex in general. I would have all the students go to the site and play the game and try to get as far as they could in the levels. After they play this game, I will tell the class to write down at least two things that they knew and at least two things that they learnt while playing this game. I would insure the students that no one else would see this sheet of paper and that they should not be ashamed in not knowing certain things about sexuality. I will have the students hand that sheet in and that is how I would know what needs to be taught to the students and where to start my lesson. This site is great for students to learn about sexuality and about the male and female bodies. It allows the students to learn about sex and disease at their own pace and allows them to feel comfortable while doing it.

I will definitely use this site when I begin to teach as it has so many useful things for students to use. From teaching children how to put on a condom to all the different questions about sex and disease. This game is a fun and interactive way to allow children to learn about sexuality. It is great to have sites like this that allow the students to have fun, while still teaching them at the same time. This site will answer all the students questions about sexuality and it will allow them to have fun while learning.
