Why Do Girls Have Sex?

1.  Read the different stories about why girls have sex in your packet, Why do Girls Have Sex? from the book called Virgin Sex for Girls.
2.  Which story did you like the best?  Why?
3.  What are the names of the characters?  
4.  Write a four sentence summary of what happened in the story.
5.  What would you have done if you were the girl in this story?  Why?

Post your answers to these questions on your blog.  You should write in complete sentences so that the reader knows what you are talking about without reading the questions above.  Start your story with a sentence similar to, "I read the chapter Why Do Girls Have Sex? in the book titled, Virgin Sex for Girls.  My favorite story was........."
If you did not finish the assignment about female anatomy do so now.  You may also use it to review for your test on Friday.
