Reading Quiz

Directions: Students will read off the CDC website that focuses on STD and pregnancy http://www.cdc.gov/std/STDFact-STDs&Pregnancy.htm. This reading will take place after our class discussions and lesson on pregnancy, contraception, and STD. Students should take about 10-15 minutes to take this multiple choice / Short Answer quiz. As a result of this quiz I will be able to see what students not only gathered from their assigned reading but also from in class teachings. The grading system I will be using for this quiz will be based on a holistic grading system. There are 15 possible points students will get 1 point for a right answer and 0 points for a wrong answer. From this quiz I will be able to see if and where the students need more content knowledge and what aspects of the readings they found unclear. If students do poorly I this quiz we might have to revisit the assigned reading as a class to address some of the issues.
