<strong>Drugs</strong> <strong>Project</strong><br />
Recently we looked at decision making and risk management. Those are features of every<br />
day life, and using them together can help you succeed in life. Decisions can be as simple as<br />
what to wear for the day or whether you should get groceries today or tomorrow; and as<br />
complicated as whether you should sign up for that class next semester or where you should<br />
invest your money.<br />
A major decision that affects many of us daily is the choice to use drugs and alcohol. There<br />
is risk related to drug and alcohol use, yet many people choose to use them. In this project<br />
you will be required to look at drugs and alcohol and examine the decisions and risks<br />
surrounding the choices people make.<br />
Students will draw for groups. After all have drawn, students find others with the same drug<br />
topic. Topics are:<br />
• Club drugs<br />
• Hallucinogens<br />
• Sedatives<br />
• Narcotics<br />
• Amphetamines<br />
• Inhalants<br />
• Alcohol<br />
Each group will be responsible for the facts involving their assigned drug, such as street<br />
names, different kinds of drugs in the category, short-term and long-term effects on the<br />
body, and treatment. Groups should also explore addiction and recovery processes in general,<br />
and the effects of drug abuse on society, family, friends, work, school, etc.<br />
Students will present the project to the class as a PowerPoint. Students will have access to the<br />
library and computer lab during the project, and most work will occur during class time,<br />
although additional time outside of school may be required to rehearse the presentation.<br />
Marks given as a combination of individual and group assessment, according to how well<br />
the following are covered:<br />
• the category and forms of the drug, and how it is taken: 15 points<br />
• street or common names of the drug: 10 points<br />
• other drugs within the same category: 10 points<br />
• short-term and long-term effects on the body: 10 points<br />
• the addiction and recovery process: 15 points<br />
