Transcription

1 Topic ATOD Vocabulary Duration 1-52 minute class period Purpose To activate prior knowledge of vocabulary used when discussing alcohol, tobacco and other drugs. Materials Large sheet of paper or poster board, labeled with categories OR masking tape with categories written on them OR Whiteboard with categories Sticky notes Michigan Health Content Expectations 2.1 Analyze how alcohol, tobacco and other drug use and exposure negatively impacts the user, as well as friends, family members and community members. Objectives Students will be able to: Classify specific drugs as stimulants, depressants, hallucinogens, inhalants, over the counter or prescription drugs. Describe the physiological and psychological effects of stimulants, depressants, hallucinogens and inhalants. Assessment of Objectives Students will be observed for participation in class activities. Anticipatory Set Tell students that over the next two weeks, they will be learning a lot about alcohol, tobacco and other drugs. In order to set the foundation for learning, we need to ensure that they are familiar with the vocabulary that we will be using. Input Tell students that they are going to do an activity together. The object of the activity is to correctly categorize the words they are given. They will partner up with the person next to them and choose a team name. Together, they will decide which category the word belongs in.

2 Modeling Show students the headings on the poster board. Explain to them that one partner will write the team name and their answer on the sticky note. The other partner will walk to the heading and place the sticky note under the chosen one. Remind students that they should not change their minds based on what others decide. (For this reason, have students write their choice on the sticky note prior to placing it.) Use question #1 as an example. Write your name and answer, and place it under a heading. Remind students to walk calmly back to their seats and await the discussion. Activity Pass out sticky notes to each team. Read statements (one at a time) from ATOD Vocabulary, attached. Check for Understanding After students have all placed their sticky notes, identify the correct answers. Be alert for if misunderstanding, and clarify as needed. Follow with discussion if needed. Repeat process by asking another question. This process can be repeated, using multiple categories, until questions are exhausted. Closure Tell students that knowing these concepts will help them in their overall understanding of the unit. Adaptations/Differentiation Non-mobile students may participate by having partner walk sticky to the heading, or teacher can collect and post all stickies. Students with attention difficulties will appreciate moving around the room, but may need monitoring to stay on task. Reflections for future use:
