Instructional Ideas

• Choose a few of the journal prompts as warm-up activities in language arts, health, or social studies
• Work with teachers in different departments to fold the activities into their curricula

Classroom Considerations

• Each page is designed to take place over one week in each subject, but you can mix and match the activities as needed
• Resource was created in 2018; make sure that information is up to date
• Answer key is for the activity linked at the bottom of the page, not for any of the exercises in the resource itself

Pros

• Provides links to extra materials and resources
• A great way to connect a schoolwide anti-drug campaign throughout multiple subjects

Cons

• None
