Alcohol poisoning – Activity
Ask the students to consider the risks that might be involved when giving information to others using digital communication. Encourage the students to make connections to the video they have just seen. • • • • Allow the students to sit in groups of 2-3 Ask each group to come up with one piece of advice that they would give the 14-year-old girl in the video. Each group now reports their advice to the class and the teacher records the advice on the whiteboard Teacher now leads a further discussion trying to get the students to identify a consensus of advice
Main Activity • At this point it will be necessary for the students to undertake research on how alcohol can affect the body. If the classroom has access to computers for the students this may be done in pairs or small groups. Otherwise the teacher can use the classroom computer and projection facility to visit relevant websites for research. The students can use the evidence collecting sheet resource. (Activity resource Alcohol and the Body) Below is a suggestion for sites that the teacher and student may wish to visit. http://www.drinking.nhs.uk/?WT.mc_id=11006&gclid=CJbE9r3GzJ8CFSUulAodlgur0w http://www.drinkaware.co.uk/facts/effects-of-alcohol-2 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Short-term_effects_of_alcohol http://www.infoscotland.com/alcohol/displaypage.jsp?pContentID=92&p_applic=CCC&p_service=Content.show&#stage1 http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/health-and-families/health-news/what-alcohol-really-does-to-your-body-516050.html http://www.mentorfoundation.org/brain.php?nav=4-160

http://faculty.washington.edu/chudler/alco.html http://www.drinkaware.co.uk/facts/factsheets/alcohol-and-your-liver?gclid=CJrwsf3JzJ8CFcor3godyAmOzw The teacher will now need to use the activity resource DO DON’T . Each group will be given an empty frame for DO DON’T and a set of DO DON’T statements that have been cut into individual statements. • • • • • The students now work in groups of 2-4 Each group will have to look at each statement and decide which column it should be listed in. Allow approximately 10 minutes for the original sort. The teacher will now ask for the results and organise them on the whiteboard. These can be rearranged until the class believe that they have the correct sort. (This exercise will work much better if the teacher uses an interactive whiteboard that allows the sort to be done quickly in front of the students with prepared statements.) End this session with a general discussion. Try to reinforce the dangers of drinking to excess and the risks that it may expose us to. The teacher may also like to review the position in law of under 18s and drinking alcohol.
