Drug Danger: Abuse of Illegal and Legal Substances

Teachers,

Please make sure the families of your students understand and consent to their children doing extensive research on this particular subject. Also please keep in mind this project is not fitting for every class, you must have students who are mature enough to appreciate the value of the research they are being asked to complete. Please adjust your project content according to the group you are implementing it with. You can modify the assignment to adjust for the needs of special education or EL students.

If you like the idea of creating an informative pamphlet or poster on health issues but prefer not to use narcotics as a topic here are some helpful website on other topics we came across while compiling our Webquest. They include 1. tobacco abuse, 2. weight issues and 3. learning disabilities.
