We have all seen late-night style shows with segments where a correspondent interviews people on the street to see what they know about a topic. That is the idea behind this anatomy activity, which explores female reproductive anatomy and physiology through one-on-one interviews between students. This activity was heavily inspired by the Roe v. Bros videos on social media (https://linktr.ee/roevbros) but was expanded to include a research component so students could increase their knowledge. In the Roe v. Bros videos, people walking by the interviewer are asked questions about female anatomy and reproduction. Questions examples include ???what is a placenta???? and ???can a woman hold her period like pee???? Students are each given notecards with one question on each notecard. Students then interview other members of the class, asking the questions on their notecards and recording the answers they receive. Once they have interviewed a pre-determined number of other students, they return to their seat for research. They investigate the correct answer to each of their questions, with the answers taken from reliable sources. This portion of the exercise should include a discussion of what a ???reliable??? source is and how you can tell. After their research, students each make a PowerPoint or Google Slides presentation with 3 slides for each question they were assigned. The first slide, per question, states the question, the second includes the list of answers they received, and the third includes the answer and the source of that answer. They are also encouraged to include any useful images, diagrams, or fun facts. The students then present their slides to the class, including a discussion on if each source is reliable, and how to tell. This activity provides a fun, interactive way to teach the intricacies of female anatomy and physiology, human reproduction, and birth control.
