A group of parents are concerned about the
potential drug use by Naperville Central students. They have contacted the
Health teachers and asked that our students create presentations that would
be useful in deterring our freshman from drug use.
So, each group of students will research one
category of drugs. Your group will then create a "story" that would be
interesting, informative and appropriate for Naperville Central freshman
students. Each group will examine one of the following drug categories:
 | Alcohol |
| Cannabis/Marijuana |
| Hallucinogens |
| Inhalents |
| Narcotics |
|
| Stimulants |
| Sedative-Hypnotics (Depressants) |
| Performance Enhancing Drugs |
| Designer Drugs |
| MDMA |
|
Your story should be based on fact, no opinions.
Make sure you use reliable sources for your research! It will be due:
