Approach:

A multi-media assembly for all students

There are three multi-media shows which focus on alcohol and other drug prevention, cutting-edge brain research outlining alcohol's effects on the adolescent brain, and the need for student leadership and activism. The shows utilize Canadian icons to get the simple message of being safe through to Canadian youth.

Application/relevance to curriculum:

Health and Physical Education, Careers, Drama, Guidance initiative.

Comments:

This resource gives youth a picture of what can happen if they choose to make unwise decisions. A follow-up lesson plan to reinforce the message presented in the multi-media show might be considered. Local MADD chapters might consider sharing the costs of the assembly.
