The truth about marijuana

Good Morning!

Here is what we're doing today!

Go to:  http://www.drugfreeworld.org/drugfacts/marijuana.html  and  http://headsup.scholastic.com/articles/endocannabinoid

Read and pull out any information you can from this article.  You CAN copy and paste this information.

Then…..research and find opinions that counter (or are of the opposing opinion) what you found above.

Then…. create a half page paper of your own thoughts on marijuana.

Some direction for you:

Do you think it's dangerous?
Would you ever try it (if you have…does this change your opinion?)
Should high school kids use marijuana?
Should we legalize it?
Should we have legal dispensaries? (places that sell it)
Any other thoughts you might have about the drug would be good to add in.

Please turn this in to my drop box.

Cancer Analogy

Good Morning!

Please welcome Mrs. Fallon to our class with warm smiles and respect.  Mrs Fallon is one of my all time favorites and we are lucky to have her as a sub.

Today:

"Cancer Analogy"

Using appropriate terminology from the board, please write a one page cancer analogy. You will have to be specific and creative.  The example of "Cancer is like a weed" cannot be used.  However, the concept can be.  "Cancer is like a weed".  If not controlled and exterminated, the dandelion will spread (metastasize) to other parts of the field.  Etc…etc….etc.   Over the years, I've had some GREAT analogies.  Will yours be?

Please have this turned in by the end of the class period.   Use the drop box in studentvue.

Thanks!
