Drug Awareness:
Drug Research Project
Objective:
Students will research drugs in order to create
a visual display identifying the harmful effects
of drug use.
I can research using online resources such as databases and professional websites.
I can create citations using EasyBib.
I can choose copyright free pictures by using the proper filter.

Showcase your knowledge of the drug unit:
Below are choices of how I can assess what you learned.
Each project will be graded using the same criteria:
Board Game
Create a board game that deals with fact-based information from any drug. The game board could be modeled after games like Sorry, Life, Candyland, etc. Don’t forget to name the game. The game board, any cards and/or game pieces, and instructions must be included. Don’t forget to be neat, colorful, & organized. Write a paragraph on what message you are trying to convey.
|
Song/Lyrics
Choose a song and re-write the lyrics to highlight the needed criteria. Type a minimum one page analysis of the words and attitudes towards drugs expressed in the song.
|
Children's Book
Write and illustrate a children’s book with an anti-drug message. It must include at least two characters with names, mention of the criteria, and illustrations on at least 3 pages. Your story should contain at least 10 pages of story content. Don’t forget to title the story and create a binding for the book.
|
Poster
Create a poster that is neat, colorful, organized and fact-based. Be creative with the format so that there is minimal blank, open space. Perhaps the poster could be “interactive”?
|
Poem
Write a poem. A minimum of 40 lines is required (just short of one full page Word document). The final draft should be typed or written neatly in pen and mounted with a visual illustration, collage, drawing, photograph, etc. to compliment the poem’s theme.

Newspaper Cover Page

|
Comic Strip
Create your own comic strip dealing with a drug message. There should be a minimum of 15 frames, which include the facts from the criteria. Write a paragraph on what message you are trying to convey. It can be black and white, but it must be neat and legible.
|
PowerPoint
Create a presentation about a drug related topic and present it to the class. All material must be fact-based. The PowerPoint must include text, visuals, custom animation, slide transitions, and sound. The end of the report must include a 5-question multiple-choice quiz to test the audience. Don’t forget to include the correct answers! A minimum of 15 slides must be included [this includes the title (1), resources (1), & quiz slides (1)].
