A DADDY'S DIARY
Today your girlfriend has told you she's pregnant. You're a student and you hadn't planned to become a daddy at such a young age. Write you diary in a minimun of 20 entries covering several months of your girlfriend's pregnancy. Write about your impressions, your decisions, your expectancies. How do you feel being a future father?
A LIFE-CHANGING DIALOGUE
Look at the picture. You can see Juno and she’s got something important to tell her parents. “Dad, Brenda, I’ve got to tell you something”. Invent a dialogue of 100 words with the conversation between Juno and her parents. Use some of the words included in the list below:
father- adoption- abortion- baby- condoms- help- support- doctor
A LETTER TO
THE LORINGS
You
have read the Reitmans' advert in the PennySaver and you believe the
Reitmans are the perfect parents to you baby. Write a letter to them,
telling them about your pregnancy, your ideas, your feelings. Make it
personal and full of sense.
A LETTER TO YOUR UNBORN BABY
Imagine
you've seen your baby for the first time. You're a teenager and you
feel surprised and astonished. Write a letter to your unborn baby
telling him or her all you think. Do you want to keep him? Are you
planning an abortion? Have you considered an adoption?
Write all your feelings in this letter.
A CLASSROOM DEBATE
ABORTION YES? ABORTION NO?
Many
young girls who get pregnant decide to have an abortion so that they
can continue with their normal lives. Make two groups in your class:
One group will be in favour of abortion and the other totally against
it. First of all, make a list with all the arguments to support you
viewpoint and then, start a debate and try to reach a conclusion.
