We begin our unit on Healthy Relationships this week.  This unit will focus on how we take care of ourselves, and how we take care of our friends.  There will be guest speakers, activities, and art in this unit.  We will have speakers from Planned Parenthood, and the HIV Alliance.  We will watch videos on the history of HIV/AIDS, as this is a state requirement.  We will make an AIDS quilt.  We will do many things to take the topic from personal and social responsibility. 
So put on your Global Health hats, and let's take a ride!

Each friend represents a world in us, a world possibly not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born.

     The survey on this website resulted in the following requests/suggestions in no particular order:
          1.  Summary of class day
           2.  A link to get student grades
            3. Downloadable homework 
             4.  Nice background (what's this?)
I'll be working on integrating these suggestions as I learn how to manage this site.

Note to parents.  As noted in my syllabus, we will have Planned Parenthood speak to our Global Health classes for two days this and next week.  Topics will be Birth Control, and STI's and HIV/AIDS.  These presentations help set up our next unit on HIV/AIDS which is mandated by the state of Oregon.
