What happened to me was cool, because we actually learned more about Sex Ed, then just the general stuff that you learn before 7th grade. Some things I did:
Had a few quiz's
Had diagrams of the male and female body, and labeled them
Had word searches, and puzzles to remember the vocab
Watched a video of a women giving birth (Don't ask!)
Saw diagrams and watched the complete process of pregnancy in the body
Went into detail about a women's period, and a mans erection
Basically you go into detail about more things, and learn more than what you knew before.

It sounds like you will not learn anything about contraception or safer sex, or you might learn lies like condoms have pores that are big enough for sperm and HIV virus to get through.
It sounds like you will get a solid education on the biology of sex and pregnancy. It also sounds like they are going to attempt to convince you to wait until marriage to have sex. They will tell you that sex before marriage is bad, that if you do it you are guaranteed to get pregnant and get STDs no matter what precautions you take.
You need to realize that 99% of Americans have sex before marriage. If you choose to wait, that is fine, but let it be your choice, not your school's choice. If you do choose to have sex before marriage, or if you wait until marriage but want to limit how many kids you have, you need to learn the truth about safe sex, and you won't learn that in abstinence education.
There are a lot of resources out there that will give you the truth. Here is one, if you feel the need to educate yourself: http://contraception.about.com/ Your family doctor might also have information for you, if you ask.

I was in 8th grade and during sex ed we had to fill out diagrams of the male/female parts. As in PICTURES. Talk about awkward haha. But by then most of us had matured a bit more from 7th grade.
As for what you learn, it all depends on the school.

Sounds like this is a glorified biology class with a unit on abstinence. I don't think "alternative ways to express feelings" means masturbation because that would raise the ire of more parents than telling you about safe sex would. How dare the schools teach our children to be responsible, right?
