Sexual Orientation - Sexuality is an important part of who we are as humans. Beyond the ability to reproduce, sexuality also defines how we see ourselves and how we physically relate to others. Sexual orientation is a term used to refer to a person's emotional, romantic, and sexual attraction to individuals of a particular gender (male or female).
Please watch the attached video to further understand what sexual orientation is and the different categories that sexual orientation is divided into.

IN THE PAST COUPLE OF WEEKS WE WATCHED VIDEOS ON ALCOHOL AND LEARNED THE EFFECTS OF ALCOHOL ON OUR BRAIN AND BODIES. MOVING FORWARD LETS JUST TAKE SOME TIME TO REVIEW AND MAKE SURE WE KNOW THE FACTS BEFORE MOVING ON.

ANSWER THE QUESTIONS TO THE BEST OF YOUR ABILITIES AND YES YOU MAY USE THE INTERNET OR PAST VIDEOS TO HELP YOU ANSWER THESE QUESTIONS=). WHETHER YOU ANSWERED THE QUESTIONS CORRECTLY OR NOT PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO REVIEW THE CORRECT ANSWER FEEDBACK PROVIDED. TAKE YOUR TIME YOU HAVE ALL WEEK TO COMPLETE.

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING TO HELP ANSWER THIS QUESTION:
This week will continue to learn about the dangers of alcohol. Thank you to those who submitted their great artwork and assignment on how alcohol affects the brain. I will be sharing some of those soon.

THINK ABOUT IT......
Did you know that about 90% of middle school students DO NOT drink alcohol?? That means only about 9% of middle schoolers are drinking alcohol.
Does this number surprise you? Does this percentage seem low or high?
There are many misconceptions about alcohol and drugs, many may have thought that the percentage of middle schoolers who drink alcohol would have been higher, when in FACT it is not.
Let us help each other learn a little bit more about alcohol.

INSTRUCTIONS:
Using a reliable internet source, do some research and find ONE myth about alcohol (does not have to apply to young people) and then tell us the FACT that corrects this myth. Here is my example based on what we just learned.
MYTH: THERE IS A LARGE PERCENTAGE OF YOUNG PEOPLE WHO DRINK ALCOHOL
FACT: LESS THAN 10% OF MIDDLE SCHOOL STUDENTS DRINK ALCOHOL

Please complete this by Friday and I will take everyones MYTH And FACTS and create a document to share with the entire class for next week which will help with an upcoming assignment. THANK YOU!!!

PLEASE USE THIS WEEK TO CATCH UP ON ANY ASSIGNMENTS YOU MAY BE LATE ON AS THIS WEEK I WILL BE WORKING ON YOUR 3RD MARKING PERIOD GRADES. I WILL BE KEEPING THE WORK MINIMAL IN HEALTH CLASS THIS WEEK TO GIVE THOSE WHO NEED IT THE OPPORTUNITY TO CATCH UP.
PLEASE VIEW THE VIDEOS THAT I SHARE WITH YOU THIS WEEK AS WE
KEEP OURSELVES INFORMED ABOUT THE AFFECTS OF ALCOHOL ON OUR BODIES.

******PLEASE WATCH THE ATTACHED VIDEOS FIRST TO HELP GUIDE YOU WITH THIS ASSIGNMENT
******YOU MAY ALSO DO THE RESEARCH ON YOUR OWN AS THEIR ARE MANY RESOURCES REGARDING THIS TOPIC.

Each day this week I will present a short video or two on "How Alcohol Affects Your Brain." Please make sure you watch these videos each day so at the end of the week you are not overwhelmed with these assignments.
On Wednesday I will present you with two assignments regarding these videos, however you will only have to pick ONE assignment to complete.
*******When you complete these videos please return this assignment so I can give you participation credit*********

You watched a few videos this week on why it is important to be careful when you are using the internet. Many of you even wrote which part about the internet is most important for Middle Schoolers to know and be aware of. You also heard stories of what being kind on line should look like and what it shouldn't look like, for instance, "Charlottes Story."
We all know now that if we choose to take the path of unkindness or post something that we probably shouldn't, it not only will have consequences but what you post is forever linked to your name on the internet. Remember things do not go away just because you delete them.
I just want to make sure it is fully understood that not only being unkind online may have consequences, but always remember the person or persons you are being unkind to, is just that, a person, they have feelings too. So please always refrain from typing something you wouldn't want anyone to type to you or about you.
Now the assignment,....To close up to this week and this topic of "Being Kind Online" I would like you all now to take the Pledge. Watch the short video clip again of the pledges that some students shared about how they are going to pledge to be kind online and I want you to share yours. Thats all, one sentence by answering the above question....Thank you all and have a wonderful weekend=)
