Over-the-Counter Sale of Emergency Contraceptives
Grade Level-9-12, College
Subject-Consumer Health
Duration- 1hr and 10 min
Objective- To show the importance of Plan B being sold over the counter.
Materials: Pen, Paper, and a class willing to participate
Procedures:
Have the class take a piece of paper, cut it into 2 pieces
Have them right down the grade the would like to receive for the class on one
on the other sheet have them right down 3 terrible things they would do to the teacher if they did not receive that grade
Make them bald both up and pass it to the person behind them, and without looking at the paper have that person choose one and turn it in.
Have the teacher leave the room and go to an unknown place
Have everyone open up the other sheets and see what is left.
The people that have their desired grades are in trouble. They have the rest of the time period to find the teacher. Explain what is going on, and convince the teacher to overlook their comments.

Description: This activity is to show that the 72 hour time frame for Plan B, adds pressure to the impregnated patient. They have to realize that the mistake has occurred and then go on a hunt to find a physician that is available on weekends, or a pharmacy that sells this form of contraception. Let’s say that it’s Friday and the paper that you turned in determines what grade you get for the semester. Saturday and Sunday you can not get in touch with the teacher and the deadline for grades are Monday. What do you do? Do you want to take the class over, and ruin all your plans of graduating? This can easily be converted into the thoughts of the women, and her situation. Wouldn’t it be easier if you could just go the teacher’s office, or a pharmacy that carries Plan B.

Technology Use: Have each student use the world wide web to search and find 3 stores that carry Plan B. Have them create an excel document listing the address, phone number, and store manager. Also have them discuss the trouble they had finding the providers.

Evaluate- Read and make sure all listed contacts carry Plan B
