Process

Drug Unit Home Introduction Task You will be working in groups of two. When developing the take away reference for the agents you may want to consider using the following topic areas to help focus your presentation and reference to the details of the drug.

 * The Process **
 * 1) Collectively, you will choose a category to focus on for your presentation.
 * 2) Once you have been assigned a drug to focus on, you need to choose your role. One of the partners will need to be the aesthetic designer and one will need to be the information coordinator. You both will be responsible for handing in a progress log at the end of each class period to show the Director (teacher) where you are in your process so they can continue to pay you since you have this time away from your normal duties to complete the task at hand.
 * 3) The Aesthetic Designer (AD) will need to decide (with the input of his partner) how they will be presenting their information. Brainstorm with your partner on this. You will be responsible for the look of the presentation... making it engaging and entertaining. Choosing the right, appropriate pictures to help represent each aspect of the information you need to present. You will choose from the following multimedia programs such as PowerPoint, Prezi, or iMovie (Paper Slide Video). This will be the tech savvy of the two people in your group.

 * 4)   The Information Coordinator (IC) will need be the information end of the presentation. They will do all the foot work for the research and find the quality information to keep the presentation accurate and concise. They will filter the information so that only the necessary facts are presented. They will need to gather the information, along with statistics, facts and visuals to be used by the AD in the presentation. They then will present the information they have found to their AD so they can, once again, brainstorm on what information to use and how to implement it in the presentation. You will need a take away reference for the agents which can range from an outlined fact sheet created in MS Word to a tri-fold brochure created in MS Word, iWork - Pages (MS Publisher), or any other print studio software.

 * 5) Both jobs are a collaborative effort but are specialized just the same. Choose the job that best fits your ability for the greatest amount of success.
 * Medical name for the drug, along with any other slang or street names for the drug
 * What is the drug used for (if it applies) in a medical sense?
 * What forms does it come in? Which is most common? Create a visual representing its appearance.
 * Identify methods of use of the drug. Graphics and descriptions would be useful.
 * Where does it come from, geographically and literally? (derivative of what plant, drug, substance) Map or background information on how it was discovered.
 * Cost, legally and/or illegally.
 * Short term and long term effects. Pictures would be helpful here.
 * Create a word document detailing the information you found in an outline form to follow along with your presentation for recordkeeping (take away reference) include copies of pictures, etc… Hand in a hard copy or a digital copy in PDF format to be copied.
 * Share your presentation with the rest of the “newbie” agents.
 * Be prepared to answer questions on your content area.
 * Please be sure to cite the resources you choose to use. All work should be in your words (i.e. original), not cut and pasted directly from the Internet.
