Unit 2: Substance Use and Abuse

Post Assessment

Student Directions

Think about all you’ve learned about legal and illegal drugs, using products safely, and external pressure from peers and the media. Create a public service announcement (PSA) in order to illustrate how to promote a healthy lifestyle. The PSA should include:

The importance of using legal drugs and products as directed

The negative effects of using tobacco, alcohol, and marijuana on a person’s mind, body, and overall wellness

Ways to combat the external pressure from the media and peers to engage in unhealthy behaviors

With your PSA you may choose to

o   Perform your PSA live in front of the class

o   Video record the PSA

o   Audio record the PSA

o   Write a script for the PSA without performing it

o   Create a talking character through Voki at http://www.voki.com/
