Minority Women’s Health Lesson Plan

Objective

  1. Address various health issues for different groups of minority women.

Materials

In Preparation for this Lesson:

Print off the worksheets that are appropriate for your student. For example if she is a latina
student, print of the Latina Women Information sheet for her. Ask your student to come prepared
with questions about different female health issues. Many of these questions can be addressed by
using the Women’s Health Vocab Sheet to explain what different concerns are. Lastly, you need
to plan your lesson so you’ll have access to a computer and the internet so you can review health
topics with your student.

Once there, have your student read through the health topics, and have them click on the ones that are interesting to them.
