Welcome to Chapter 10 - Substance Abuse




Substance Abuse education is a very real and important aspect of 8th grade health. In the following chapter students will not only learn about the effects of common street drugs but will be able to produce a sure way to avoid a potential drug filled situation. What this chapter explores is educational, exciting and answers many questions that kids have about drugs.

Glogs



Last year our 8th Grade Health students explored the expressionary world of Glogs. A Glog is a unique way to express your artistic views of a subject through the creation of an interactive poster. Glogs include animation, sound and lots of fun visuals that can enhance the learning process. Each Glog is presented by the studnets and shown to the class. Glogs are cutting edge and we are the only class in ELA to emphaise its learning potential. The Glogs will be our Chapter 10 assessment and I look forward to our students creations! The following are links to awesome Glogs created by kids last year:

Inhalants

Rophynol


Sharpies

Ecstacy

Marijuana

Alcohol

Here is a great Glog on Alcohol Created by Jessica Hanson in Period 6
