Each day in class, you should work on one task. Each day you should complete one task. Share each completed task with me so that you can get credit for that day. (google, notecards, notes) Be sure to paraphrase and cite your sources. Don’t make stuff up!
Since there are 5 tasks, it should take two weeks to do research. If you are working with a partner or friend on the same topic, I will assign you additional tasks.
TASK 1: Introduction. Describe the drug.
(looks like, slang names, how it is used or taken, history, cost)
TASK 2: Current Events. Find an interesting news article that illustrates the impact this drug has on society. (print it out) Write a summary. Include the who, what, why, when, how.
TASK 3: Physical Effect. What does the drug to the body? What specific organs are impacted by immediate use? long term use?
TASK 4: Consequences of use. What are the legal consequences of using this drug?
What are the social consequences of use? (family,friends, community)
TASK 5: Data and Statistics. List at least three relevant statistics about the substance
The next phase is putting it all together. What do you want your PRODUCT to be? A Google presentation? poster? website?
