Tenth Grade Pamphlet Project

For this project you will be required to design and create an educational pamphlet focusing on one of the drugs we have looked at in this unit. You will work in groups of 3-5 and use the knowledge you have gained in this class to make the pamphlet informative and interesting.

Guidelines:

Your pamphlet should adhere to the following:

· It should be on ONE drug only.

· It should be typed or neatly handwritten.

· It should be 5-7 pages long.

· It should have an attractive cover with an interesting title, the names of the group members, advisory and a picture/ drawing.

· Have 1-2 pages about the effects of this substance on the human body and other long term consequences.

· Have 1-2 pages highlighting peer pressure issues connected with the drug. ( Students may relate an actual experience)

· Have 1 page on how this drug has negatively affected someone (famous or not famous).

· Have 1 page about addiction and withdrawal

· Have 1 page based on the group members’ WANT to know from KWL chart.

· Have a picture/drawing on each page.

Your pamphlet must show originality and creativity. It should be engaging and be appropriate for grades 9-10. It should show evidence of research and important statistics. Do not simply cut and paste from the internet as plagiarized work will get a zero.

Each group will present their pamphlet to the class.

Later, all pamphlets will be displayed in the auditorium for the school to view.

The best pamphlets from each advisory will be placed in the guidance counselor’s office and school library for actual use.
