Exercise 9 Pregnancy – Risks and Choices

SYNOPSIS

• A story divided into seven scenes to be studied by small groups who then read back the scenes 'Out-loud' and give their answers to questions set in the scripts. [This performative element is essential in the construction of a class consensus around healthy normative expectations. These are reiterated through practice of appropriate vocabularies and language skills.]
• The story describes a 17 year old in Accident and Emergency who discovers that not only is she pregnant but has Chlamydia which she may have given to her partner on her one night stand.
• Both parties have regrets about intercourse and failure to use contraception but have to make decisions.
• Extension allows discussion of preventative strategies.
