If you have not finished your assignment on Monday about wellness, please do so.
When you have finished, you can start the DECIDE assignment.
When you are faced with a decision, you can use the decide model. The attached powerpoint describes what each step is. Use that model to write out the steps that you would use when faced with a decision concerning a legal or illegal substance.
D - what is the issue at hand? Getting in a car with someone who has been drinking? Trying a new energy drink?
E - explore the options - what are all of the possible options (include both negative and positive options)
C - are there any other alternatives to the situation?
I - identify possible soltions that would work for you. If you're at a party at a camp, is calling a taxi a viable option?
D - decide and take action. Pick one of the possible choices
E - evaluate and revise - did it work? would you do something different next time?
You can write a story showing what you'd do, make a powerpoint, etc to show your decision-making process. Slide 4 has some possible scenarios that you can use.

The computer lab is booked for you today to finish working on your storytelling assignment. You need to select a traditional story (fable, folk talk, fairy tale, legend), and put your own spin on it (comic strip, story bird, rewrite it for modern times, act it out like a sit com, etc). For those that would like to share with the class, we will do so next period.
When you finish, check out Michael de Adder's website. Michael was born in Moncton, studied at Mount A, and now draws political cartoons that are viewed by millions every week. Look through some of his drawings, and pick one that interests you. Add it to a word document or powerpoint slide, and then write a reflection to go along with it. Why did de Adder draw this? What in the news was going on at the time? Is it political? Cultural? Both? Neither?
