To demonstrate an understanding of how drugs impact the brain and consciousness by teaching the class about a specific category of drugs
Goal:
To demonstrate an understanding of how drugs impact the brain and consciousness by teaching the class about a specific category of drugs.
INSTRUCTIONS
- Please pick a drug category from the following options. You will create a Powerpoint about your drug category and teach the class. You may choose from the following drug categories
- Alcohol and other depressants
- Stimulants
- Opioids
- Hallucinogens.
- Using your book and Google, research your chosen drug category.
- Create a 6-8 slide Powerpoint to teach the class. You only have to turn in the powerpoint (you don’t have to record your voice over it), so you want to make sure your slides can “stand alone,” meaning someone should be able to review them and get the relevant content without having to actually hear a lecture. Make sure to include your sources. Please include the following things:
- Define the drug category
- Discuss what type of drugs fall into this category
- Include statistics of drug use in the US when possible (gender, race, age- you will most likely have to search online for this)
- Discuss how these drugs impact the brain
- Discuss the long-term effect of these types of drugs
- Do not put your name anywhere on the actual Powerpoint (to maintain anonymity)
