Transition  Imagine you have a friend who gets in trouble because of drinking or using drugs. In your student journal, write a description or a poem or draw a picture or cartoon of how you’ll feel when you hear the news. Motivate  Why are laws and rules created? What do school rules, community regulations and state laws all have in common?  What are some examples of rules or laws that help keep people safe?

Explain  Today you’re going to be thinking about how laws and rules about tobacco, alcohol and other drugs use could affect you and influence your choices. We’ll start by reviewing a sample policy on drugs and violence for a fictional high school.  Turn to page 27 in your blue workbook

Review  What were the important points covered in the policies?  It’s illegal to possess or use tobacco, alcohol or other illegal drugs on school grounds  The school must be notified if a student is taking a prescription drug  Students found using or in possession of drugs will be subject to disciplinary action  If state law is violated, the police will be called and the student arrested  It’s illegal to sell or distribute tobacco, alcohol or other drugs on school grounds  Penalties for possession and/or sale of drugs may include suspension, expulsion, jail time and fines  Assault and battery are violations of school policy and state laws  Penalties for assault and battery may include suspension, expulsion, jail time and fines

Read  Turn to page 28 in your blue workbook  Now you’ll read a case study of a situation that could have occurred on a school campus. As you read the story, look for all the ways the sample policy was violated.

Ask and Discuss  In what ways did Nate violate school policy?  In what ways did Nate break the state law? Summarize  Violation – against possession, use of drugs, assault  Broke the law – drank alcohol, assaulting another student, open bottle of alcohol in car Survey  Do you think the consequences for Nate’s actions were fair? Why or why not?

Explain  Whether or not you think the consequences were fair, the school and the court followed the established policies and the law Ask and Discuss  Do you think Nate would have become violent if he hadn’t been drinking?  What’s the relationship between drinking and using other drugs and other risky behaviors, such as violence?

Summarize  Drinking and other drugs – increases chance of risky behaviors (impair judgment, lower inhibitions, injury, violence, sexual risks)
