Name: Alyssa Strunk Date: 4-19-12 Health Education Lesson Plan Template Grade: 9th Health Unit/Theme: Alcohol, Tobacco, and Other Drugs (ATOD) Health Topic: Alcohol Purpose: The purpose of this lesson is to get the students familiar with the negative aspects of alcohol. Specifically in this lesson the students will be learning what binge drinking is and how it is very popular amongst people their age. Students will also be learning how to identify and intervene with alcohol poisoning. 12,000 teens a year die from alcohol poisoning. It is very important for students to become familiar with the signs and symptoms so they can recognize it if they are faced with alcohol poisoning. Learning how to intervene may help them to save someone s life. Objective(s)/Benchmark: The students will be able to define binge drinking, blood alcohol content, and alcohol poisoning. The students will be able to identify signs and symptoms of alcohol poisoning and how to intervene. The students will be able to identify risks that are associated with underage drinking and alcohol poisoning. National/State Health Standard(s): Standard 1- Students will comprehend concepts related to health promotion and disease prevention to enhance health. Standard 7- Students will demonstrate the ability to practice health-enhancing behaviors and avoid or reduce health risks.

Preparation: Teacher needs to have all materials ready on day of lesson. Also, make sure that the power point is backed up onto a flash drive. Teacher needs to make sure they know and understand all material before presenting lesson. Facilitating the Lesson/Activity Time: Step by Step Lesson Design: Resources Needed: 1 minute I will first introduce myself to the class and explain Agenda written on white/chalk why I am here teaching today. board. Class will then start by going over the agenda, Have PowerPoint up and which will be written on the board. It will in running. include; PowerPoint, Drink servings, BAC, Think- Students can take out notebooks Pair-Share, Fact or Myth, Help Cards, Video, Quiz. to take notes on throughout lesson to use for quiz at end 3 minutes 5 minutes After going over the agenda, we will start the PowerPoint by informing students why we are learning about alcohol (slide 2). Alcohol kills over 100,000 people each year (ask students what state they think has the highest alcohol consumption rate-answer is Wisconsin) and Wisconsin has the highest consumption rates. Since you all live in Wisconsin it is important you have knowledge on the subject of alcohol. Slides three and four will be informing the students on what we will be coving throughout the PowerPoint, and what the will be needing to know to complete the quiz at the end of class. Students are encouraged to take notes throughout the PowerPoint. These notes can be used to help them with quiz at the end. I encourage students to write down all definitions to help with test also. At slide five we will be talking about what alcohol is, and how much is in a serving (Ask students thumbs up if they think alcohol is a depressant or thumbs down if they think it is a stimulant-answer that it is. Also ask them thumbs up if they think alcohol is a drug and thumbs down if they don t- answer is it is a drug) At this time I will bring out the serving size cups so that students can see how much each different kind of alcohol equals one serving. These serving cups, which will display that 12oz of beer, 5oz of wine, and 1.5oz of liquor equal one serving of alcohol. These will be displayed (possibly passed around) for students to see. Slides Four through six will be defining blood alcohol content or BAC. While talking about this I will hand out individual BAC charts. I will PowerPoint slides 1-5 Serving Size Cups PowerPoint slides 6-8. BAC Charts
3 minutes 8 minutes demonstrate how to read these charts so that they class knows how to interpret them. Then students can find their weight and the amount of alcoholic drinks it would take them to reach a certain BAC. There will also be a BAC wheel at the front of the room for students to look at as well, along with the PowerPoint displays. Slide eight also shows the different changes in feelings and also physical and mental impairments at each percentage of BAC. (Inform students that these charts are made for adults since you have to be 21 to legally drink. As teens their livers will oxidize alcohol at a much slower rate, causing their BAC s to reach much higher levels faster) Slides seven through eleven we will be defining binge drinking. Ask students thumbs up if they have heard of binge drinking or thumbs down if they have not. We will cover how many drinks is considered binge drinking, the affects it can have on our health, and possible ways to prevent it. Students are encouraged to pay attention and take notes during these slides. Questions about binge drinking will be on the quiz at the end. Next we will be talking about underage drinking starting on slide fourteen. At this time we will perform Think-Pair-Share. Students will need to get out a piece of scrap paper to write on and a pencil to write with. I will have an example template for students to follow in this activity. Slide 16). Individually, students will brainstorm and write as many risks that they can think of that are associated with underage drinking and place them in the proper category (Legal/Financial, Physical, Social/Academic, Emotional). After a minute or two, students will pair up with the person sitting next to them. They will then compare their lists, adding, to their own. Once completed they will choose one of their risks to share with the class. Each pair of students will share one risk out loud to the class. I will also have an overhead of the outline and write down what each group shares to make a class list of the risks. I will also add to the list if I think that students have missed some of the main and important risks. This activity is intended to show a student that just because alcohol may seem fun and just because you see people doing it, doesn t mean that there are not consequences of drinking under age. These consequences are not always just physical, which people tend to focus on PowerPoint slides 9-13 PowerPoint slide 14-16 Students will need paper and a pencil.
8 minutes 5 minutes the most. The negative consequences associated with underage drinking out way the positives. This activity also gets all students to participate and share ideas with classmates. This activity on underage drinking is also very relevant to the students since they are all underage, and drinking alcohol would be against the law for them to do. By discussing the consequences, it is our goal to get students to think twice before drinking underage, especially since alcohol is the number one abused drug by youth. After Think-Pair-Share is complete, we will move onto talking about alcohol poisoning, starting on slide seventeen. (Alcohol poisoning will be on our risks list-transition from underage drinking into alcohol poisoning by say that it is one of the most dangerous risks of drinking) We will establish what alcohol poisoning is. Making students aware of how alcohol can be deadly by telling them that your BAC rises too quickly for your liver to process the alcohol. We will then play Fact or Myth (slides 19-26). Students will each get a piece of paper with fact written on one side and myth written on the other side (I will provide these). I will read the class the questions on the slide and they will then have to decide if they think it is a myth or a fact. Once all students have their papers in the air deciding if they think the question is a fact or a myth, I will ask them why they think it is that answer. I will then also give them the correct answer and explain why it is a fact or a myth. Questions will be based off of alcohol poisoning information. Once we have completed Fact of Myth we will continue to talk about alcohol poisoning (slides 27-29. We will cover the signs and symptoms of alcohol poisoning. After covering the signs and symptoms, I will then ask students what they would do if they saw a friend or family member showing signs of alcohol poisoning (slide 28). They can write this down in notes so that they can compare them to what they should really do when we get to the Help steps. After listening to what students have to say, I will then show them the proper steps to take. (slide 29)- Students should write these in notes. Slide 29 shows the proper steps to take if you are witnessing someone who is showing signs of alcohol poisoning. Also at this time I will hand out HELP cards. These cards have the information/steps that they should take if they ever PowerPoint slides17 Hand out Fact or Myth sheets Fact or Myth slides 19-26 PowerPoint slides 27-29 HELP cards will be passed out
8 minutes 8 minutes come in counter with someone who they think may have alcohol poisoning or shows symptoms of it. The steps are: 1-Remain with victim and call 911. 2-Lay victim on their side incase of vomiting so they do not choke. 3-perform CPR if needed. 4-Tell medics or adult what symptoms the victim is showing. 5-Tell medic or adult how much the victim has had to drink. These steps can save a life! Students are encouraged to keep these in their wallets, on a fridge, or somewhere they see them often. By following the steps on this card they could possibly save a life. Some people may be worried about being a nark or getting in trouble themselves if they call the cops. Inform them that time is key when dealing with alcohol poisoning. Any hesitation could take precious time away that the person with alcohol poisoning needs. Would you rather be a nark or have the guilt of someone s death on your conscious. (maybe talk about medical amnesty policy) After going over alcohol poisoning in depth, we will watch a video of a fourteen-year-old girl who died from alcohol poisoning. Tell students this is what could happen if you do not get help when you think someone may have alcohol poisoning. We will watch this video clip to show the students that this does really happen to people their age. Ask students what they would/could have done in this situation to help try and prevent this girl from dying. Students will write down on a sheet of paper their responses to what they thought about the video and what they would have done or the steps they would have taken to prevent this. This will be turned in along with the quiz at the end of class. The video hyperlink is found on slide 30 or http://abcnews.go.com/health/14-year-diesalcohol-poisoning-slumberparty/story?id=14065038 Also after the video, I will ask students if they know any ways to get a person to sober up? After listening to their responses, we will go over a few common misconceptions associated with alcohol. It is important for students to know that there is only one way to become sober and that is time, but with alcohol you are not always promised that time (slide 31) At this time I will hand out the Alcohol Quiz for the students to complete. It will contain questions about binge drinking, underage drinking, and alcohol Video- 14 year old dies of alcohol poisoning( slide 30) Paper and pencil- What would you have done differently? Alcohol Quiz
If needed 1 minutes poisoning. The questions will be on topics and information covered in todays lesson. Any notes that students took throughout the lesson can be used while taking quiz. Students will be turning these in at the end of class, along with their What Would You Do Different writings they did based on the video. Students will self correct these papers as we go over them at the end of class. If there is extra time after all of the above has been completed, students will then do the Letter to Parents activity. Students will be writing a letter to the parents of a friend who just died from alcohol poisoning. The description for this letter is on slide 32. I will also show the students the rubric to this letter, which is on slide 34. (I also have a print out of the rubric) Students will get one days to work on letter and then turn it in at the next class meeting/day. Letters can be as short as one paragraph or as long as they want. Will be graded based on rubric. I will also have an example letter that I will read to students to give them an idea of what I am looking for within their letters (Example Letter) The purpose if this letter is to get students understand that people do die from alcohol. It is a drug. Ask the students how they would feel if this situation were real. Is drinking worth the loss of a loved one to you? Closure: Students will hand in quizzes (after we have gone over the answers and they have self corrected them) and What Would You Do Different papers. Today we went over alcohol in its popular form of binge drinking. We also covered the importance of knowing the signs, symptoms and how to intervene with alcohol poisoning. Alcohol related accidents are the leading cause of death in teens, so it is vital that you know and understand the dangers of it. I hope that you all make smart decisions and use what you have learned today when it comes to alcohol and drinking. You never know when your smart decisions could save a life or maybe even your own. Thank you class and I hope you enjoyed todays lesson!

Checking for Understanding: During the lesson students will be answer questions through out the presentation. They will also be participating in Think-Pair-Share, which gets students thinking and sharing risks of drinking under age. Students will also be participating in Fact or Myth, which will be getting them familiar with facts and myths about alcohol poisoning. After the lesson, students will be working on the Alcohol worksheet. By completing this, they will be showing their knowledge of all that we have covered in the days lesson. Formative/Authentic Assessment: Students will be handing in their Alcohol Worksheet. They will also be handing in their letters to parents if time permits and we start the activity.
