High School Activity #2

Partner with your health teacher and have students develop brochures to help market the SBHC to the school community.

Partner with the health teacher and draft a formal assessment/prompt that can be scored using a scoring guide. See below a prompt. A prompt is a well-developed activity that assesses student learning and skills related to a particular Oregon Health Education Standard.

Prompt

1. Select three services that your SBHC provides and accurately describe each on the brochure
2. Describe the link between students accessing care and how it impacts their health
3. Include location of SBHC (including which bus or roads to take from the main part of your town) and costs
4. If contraception is not offered as a resource at your SBHC, offer two other resources in your community (name and location) in which sexually active students or adults may access contraception
5. Brochures may be developed in any language

Your brochure will be scored on the following scoring guides:
