November 24th - 26th. Grade Eight Health will transition into their first major topic, Alcohol. We will begin to explore the Alcohol Chapter. First, we will look at lesson one and we will explore why alcohol is harmful. Following lesson one, it will be important for each student to understand how alcohol is made, what type of alcohol is in beverages and be able to identify the drug classification of alcohol. We will also take a look at why teens choose to drink, identify reasons not to drink and list alternatives to drinking alcohol. Upon completion of the lesson one outline, the students will view the lesson one review prezi to check their responses. The lesson one outline will be collected and count as a daily assessment grade. As we move through the alcohol chapter ask yourself these questions:
1. What is reaction time?
2. How does alcohol impact an individual's reaction time?
Each grade eight health student will present their prezi to the class. Each student's presentation will provide their classmates with an opportuntiy to get to know them better. It will also provide the presenter with the opportunity to feel good about talking about themselves, identifying their strengths and interests. The prezi and presentation will be a minor assessment grade.
Happy Thanksgiving.
