DARE to make a choice

LI: To learn about making good choices 

Today, we were learning about drugs. A program made by the New Zealand  police called the Dare program, teaches kids about making wise choices. We learnt about drugs being bad, and the effects it has. We also learnt something new about drug classes, A, B, and C. This was interesting, because we thought most drugs were illegal than legal. But only  about ten drugs were illegal, because of the harm, and effects. The first activity we did was sorting our drugs that we thought were legal, and illegal. Next we sorted them in order from most harmful, to harmful. Our most harmful was cocaine, and our least harmful was milo. Next worked together in a group on a scenario activity. There were six scenarios, about kids being involved in drugs or beer. For the activity you were to give a punishment for each situation. The one we found most interesting was number five. Two Seventeen year olds were drinking at a bar. We thought that this was wrong, because you have to be eighteen and over to drink. They are also drinking at a bar, which meant that someone must have given them the alcohol. So we all agreed, and decided that the kids would have a warning, and the owner of the bar (the person who gave them the alcohol) will lose their job, get a fine of $1000, and lose their license. This is a good enough punishment, because the owner should be asking for an id, and should only be selling to people eighteen and over. Lastly we went into partners, and talked about questions that had to do with what we learnt, and about things that surprised us. One thing to remember is that you are the most important person in your world.
