Beer Goggles Day!!

This is one of the funniest days of the trimester as the students today each had a chance to put on the beer goggles. The purpose of these goggles isn't to demonstrate what a drunk person sees but rather what the balance and coordination would be with these glasses. No assignments today, however the Anti-Tobacco/Smoking brochure is due today. Any day turned in after today 2/19/10 automatically 1 point will be taken off, and that's if it's done 100% correct. Have a good weekend.

Alcohol - DUI "Dead in 5 Seconds"

Today 1/18/10 we are talking about the drug "ALCOHOL". This drug is a depressant most of the time and will cause people to become relaxed and not as in control of things like they should. In the year 1998 15,935 people were killed in alcohol-related traffic crashes - an average of one every 33 minutes. These deaths consituted approximately 38.4% of the total 41,471 total traffic fatalities (NHTSA, 1999)

DUI: Dead in 5 Seconds is a realistic portrayal of drinking and its effects though a montage of images - some graphic - and interviews. Viewers will be moved by Steven Leslie's candid comments and a reading of a remorseful letter to the victim's family. Together, these glimpses into affected people's lives make DUI: Dead in 5 Seconds a moving video my students should never forget.

"Natural High"

"Natural High" a video produced by Jon Sundt and his family because he lost his two younger brothers to drugs wanted to help kids today to realize their Natural Highs and live them without drugs.
Students: your assignment is to write or type a 1 page paper on what your Natural Highs are. If you decide to type it can be double spaced no larger than 14 size font. This assignment is due Thursday 2/18/10 when class starts. Live your Natural High every day.

Exercise and Food Tracker

The Food and Exercise Tracker is due Friday the 26th of February.
Remember to record 5 days of what you eat and drink, serving sizes of those foods and the calories. Then add the total calories for each day. On those same 5 days record your exercise and follow the F.I.T.T. model. Frequency, Intensity, Time, and Type. You can go to calorieking.com and you'll find a nice website to help in this work. Also mypyramid.gov is a good one. Good luck. This assignment is worth 50 points and due on the 26th, not a day later. You may turn it in sooner however. Thanks
Mr.j
