Teaching Learning Strategy N/A
Instructions:
Organize the class into home groups of six in preparation for a Jigsaw teaching and
learning strategy (see description of Jigsaw on page 9 of the Public Grade 11 HALE
(PPL30) Course Profile). From the list of factors that affect reproductive health, assign
each member of the home group one factor (see list below). Ask students to be prepared
to describe the effect of this factor on reproductive health to their home group after
working with the expert group.
Factors that affect male and female reproductive health:
• Environmental - chemical exposure
• Nutritional Ð anorexia
• Hormonal Ð imbalance affecting cycle
• Sexual History Ð sexually transmitted disease
• General Health Ð cancer
• Physiological Response to Stress Ð may disrupt menstrual cycle, change in sexual
interest, change in appetite
Send students to expert groups to address the factor to which they have been assigned.
Provide each group with resource information relevant to the reproductive health factor
they are addressing. See the following pages for Teacher Resource (Information
Summary) related to the key points linked to reproductive health. Circulate while group
discussions are going on to assist with the discussions. The students will return to their
home groups to share the information and record their findings on the Student Resource
(Worksheet) titled ÒFactors Affecting Reproductive HealthÓ.
