Methods and Materials

The topic of our group presentation for HSC4302 (Methods and Materials) is "Your Body's Reproductive System" and was taken from Chapter 20, Lesson 1 and 2 of the Glencoe Health book. Our presentation is intended for eighth grade students and will be performed for our Methods and Materials class on April 20, 2006. Performed by group number one, Jeff Hoffman, Elizabeth Basile, Courtney Kerrick, and Rebecca Robinson, and myself "Your Body's Reproductive System" is an forty-minute presentation on the anatomy of the male and female reproductive system, how to care for the male and female reproductive system, and potential problems that can affect the male and female reproductive systems. Our presentation also explains how to perform a breast or testicular self examination.

Drug Education
In the Fall of 2005, my group for Drug Education (HSC3143) created a lesson plan intended for college students on binge drinking. Kelsie MacMillan, Elizabeth Basile, Ramin Nadjafi, Jill Hornik, and I felt that binge drinking is a huge problem on college campuses across the country. These destructive drinking traditions have been found to be heavier and more frequent than previously thought and are continuously being ignored by college administrators. Although college health educators agree that alcohol abuse is a serious problem among college campuses their attempts to curb binge drinking among students are futile. Perhaps an even greater problem than binge drinking itself is that most students do not know that they are engaging in binge drinking. For this reason our group proposed a lesson plan to inform college aged students about what defines binge drinking, the dangers of engaging in binge drinking, and how to drink responsibly.



Human Sexuality Education
Also in the Fall of 2005, my group for Human Sexuality Education (HSC3133) created a lesson plan for middle school students on body image. 
Ryan O'Mara, Ramin Nadjafi, Elizabeth Basile, Justine Elfrink, and Idefined body Image is as the mental representation of your physical self at any given point in time. Body image refers to how you see yourself, how you feel others perceive you, and what you believe about your physical appearance. Body image is influenced more by self-esteem than by how physically attractive you are to others. Concerns about body image and appearance are pervasive among today's teens. Teens are effected by the images in the media and the views of their peers. An unhealthy body image can lead to unhealthy behaviors such as eating disorders and can also prevent a person from forming healthy relationships with others. On the other hand, teens that enjoy a healthy body image tend to feel more positive, confident and self-caring. A healthy body image is necessary for adolescents to take care of their bodies, develop confidence in their physical abilities, and generally feel comfortable with who they are.

Effective Oral Communication

For Effective Oral Communication (AEE3030C) I was required to do two persuasive speeches and one informative speech.  All of these presentations were given in October and November of 2004. The informative speech, entitled "Why Does my Abdominal Region Hurt?: A Guide to Self Diagnosis” was intended to abolish the phrase "my stomach hurts" as people commonly misconstrue other abdominal pains with a stomach ache. The two persuasive speeches, "No Excuses" and "Sexually Transmitted Diseases and You" were intended to persuade people to perform regular breast and testicular self examinations and get tested for sexually transmitted diseases, respectively.
