Avoid being dry, this is a sensitive topic, but one the students are curious about. It needs to be serious, but also enthusiastic.

14. Real World
You may wonder how this applies to you. After you have finished you projects and made your presentations, we will have one class period where young adults who have an STD will come and talk about what their life is like. You will see that this is Real.
We will also have an STD counselor come in to talk to you about STDs and what you can do as young adults to prevent the spread of STDs. This will be a great opportunity to ask any questions that you may have now or from your research.

Conclusion
As the teacher, my hope is that as you complete this project you will see that STDs are a serious topic that young adults face. As you are educated and have an understanding, your will be able to make better choices. In addition, some schools do not have the funding to provide their students with information on STDs so you will also be able to share the information that you have with others.
