In the materials you watched/read on Tuesday, one of the pressures mentioned about starting college was the pressure of drinking/partying. Today we will explore that in more detail. Because of the nature of the topic, we'll do our responses in writing today, shared only with me rather than on flipgrid for everyone to see.
1) First, watch Drinking Culture: American Kids and the Danger of Being Cool. Have a notebook out as you watch to jot down any notes or ideas that you're thinking about. When finished, in a Google Doc, please answer the following:
- What was the most surprising, interesting or provocative piece of information? Why do you consider it to be surprising, interesting or provocative?
- What assertions or solutions was the film proposing? What did you agree with? What did you disagree with?
2) Choose one of these to explore and then respond in your doc
Response: What is the site trying to do? What do you think of their plans or campaigns? Does it effectively address the issue of binge drinking on college campuses?
3) Read this
Response: Did you know about medical amnesty laws? What is your opinion about them? Do you think they are effective? Why or why not?
4) Read these:
- Amethyst Initiative (Drinking Age)
- In defense of 21
Response: Should the drinking age be lowered? Why or why not?
Please submit your response to Schoology when finished. Be prepared to discuss this weeks materials during our Zoom call on Thursday.
