11th Grade Health
Syllabus

Dear Parents/Guardians,

Welcome to 11th grade health. Students will be engaging in a great deal of information and topics throughout this coming marking period. Students will be involved in discussions, note taking, tests/quizzes and will be required to write reaction papers to each video that is shown during class. All students have access to www.classjump.com to check on missing work. Students will be taught using a number of different teaching styles and techniques such as lectures, debates, open discussion, tests/quizzes and projects involving use of the internet. Students are also required to use his/her writing skills to produce multiple 2-page reaction papers and written assignments. We will be discussing the topics throughout the marking period.

•First Aid
•CPR
•Mental Disorders
Movie:As Good As It Gets
Movie:A Beutiful Mind
•Birth Control
•Drugs/Alcohol
Movie:Wasted
•Eating Disorders
•Nutrition
Movie: Supersize Me
•Stress/Suicide

Students will be viewing a number of different movies to help assess that information taught was indeed learned. Some of the movies are rated R for language, use of drugs and/or alcohol.

The Physical Education staff believes, that by showing these videos, the students will benefit from the life lessons that each film stresses. Today’s student needs to have their attention captured and maintained, and it is through these movies that our teachings will come to fruition.

Any student who is not permitted to watch any specific movie will be given an alternate assignment pertaining to the identical topic taught and will be asked to complete the assignments in the library during his/her health period for the duration of the viewing of the video.

Any questions please do not hesitate to call or email
