The Alcohol Assessment 
January 5th Through 9th.  The grade eight health class worked towards the Alcohol Assessment.  Each student should have five lesson outlines that highlight important information covered throughout the alcohol chapter.  The five lesson outlines are as follows;  Why Alcohol is Harmful, Short-Term Effects of Alcohol Use, Long-Term Effects of Alcohol Use, Alcohol Abuse & Alcoholism, Getting For Alcohol Abuse.  All of the information needed to study for the Alcohol Assessment is included in the five lesson outlines.  For the assessment, each student will be given a note card.  The students should put information they feel will be on the assessment onto their note card.  Students will be allowed to use their note card as a resource while taking the assessment.  Students are encouraged to study all five lesson outlines as well as the alcohol-related prezis to prepare for the assessment.  Also, any lesson outline that does not have a grade on it, should be turned in to be graded.  Any lesson outline without a grade is currently a zero.  In other news, any student that has not turned in their alcohol research prezi should do so as soon as possible.  The alcohol research prezi is a major assessment grade.  Any student that is having difficulty with their project should see me.  Thank-you for your time.

Alcohol Research Prezi 
December 8th Through December 12th.  This week each eighth grade health student will be work on their Alcohol Research Prezi.  Eighth grade health students will be given questions on various topics related to alcohol to research.  Students should use the resource page provided by Miss Marhefka to research the correct information.  The resource page can be accessed through the student sharepoint page.  Students will be required to use and cite at least three sources through NoodleTools they use to create their prezi.  Early in the week, Miss Marhefka will reintroduce students to noodletools and guide them through the process of citing an internet resource.  Each student will be required to submit their citations through NoodleTools to Miss Marhefka, it will count as a daily assessment grade. Each student will also be given a project requirement sheet that will provide the questions that each student must address and answer in their finished prezi.  The Alcohol Research Prezi will count as a major assessment grade.  Additionally, students will have the opportunity to participate in the D.W.I. Goggle Activity.  The goggles simulate the affect of alcohol on their ability to move efficiently.  Students will wear two different goggles simulating day and night, in addition to different blood alcohol content levels.  Students will be asked to write a one paragraph response describing the difference they experienced.

Short Term Effects of Alcohol Use 
December 1st through 5th.  Grade Eight Health continues to explore the alcohol chapter.  The next lesson in the alcohol chapter is entitled, "Short-Term Effects of Alcohol Use".  It is important for the students to understand that alcohol negatively impacts an individual's ability to respond quickly and appropriately to situations.  We will also define important terms related to alcohol such as intoxication and blood alcohol content. We also explore how alcohol affects each individual differently.  We will identify six different factors that determine the effect that alcohol has on an individual.  We will also identify the three different categories of alcoholic beverages and their varying alcohol content.  Lastly, we will discuss how alcohol consumption can negatively impact our ability to utilize nutrients.  This is often overlooked by most. Students will also be given an opportunity to present their, "All About Me" Prezi to their classmates.  If a student has not, they need to understand that they have a zero for a minor assessment grade.  Any student that is having a problem sharing their prezi, they should see me as soon as possible. Finally, we will have a alcohol system quiz in the near future.  It will consist of twenty questions (short answer and matching).  Stay tuned for details.

"Why Alcohol Is Harmful" 
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.
