Teens
Students will be responsible for researching and then, from their research
present their information to the rest of the class. Students will teach
at least one class on their topic. You should have between 13 and 20 slides
in your power-point presentation.
- You will work in groups of 2 or 3 and you may choose your own work
mates but remember your presentation is one grade for the group.
- You will be evaluated each day by the instructor who will use the
following rubric:
- 0 - accomplished nothing;
- 1 - little work accomplished;
- 2 - was on task at least ¾ of the time;
- 3 - worked all block with few distractions; and
- 4 - worked all block with no distractions.
The topics you will get to choose from are: CAFFEINE, COCAINE/CRACK, HALLUCINOGENS,
INHALANTS, MARIJUANA, HEROIN/OPIUM, STEROIDS, STIMULANTS, AND TOBACCO.
Your grade will be based on:
- Your presentation (meeting or going beyond the standard)
- Daily class grades
- Your research notes receive a grade
- Your test score.
We will spend two days in the computer lab researching from Internet sources,
two days in the computer lab developing your power point lecture, and one
day back in the classroom to work on visuals and any loose ends.
