    Your tasks are to complete a physical challenge on the doc and the following theory tasks:

    1.  Find me the definition of

    • Recreational Drug - 
    • Non- recreational drug -

    Once you understand the difference between the two, divide the following list of drugs into either - non-recreational or recreational: 

    Codeine
    Ecstasy
    Marijuana
    Panadol
    Methamphetamine
    Heroin
    Cocaine
    Nurofen
    Synthetic cannabis 
    Inhalants
    Asthma Inhaler
    Alcohol
    Morphine

    1. Research argument

    As I am sure you are aware - later on in the year NZ will be having a referendum on Cannabis/marijuana.  New Zealanders will be voting on whether to legalise marijuana for recreational/personal purposes.

    You may have your own beliefs that you have made based on your own values, morals, family, media etc..

    Your task: To argue both sides.  You need to put yourself in the shoes of someone who does not want it legalised, and someone who does.

    1.  Complete research on why it should be legalised. - (you need evidence, you can’t just say because it cures cancer…. proof??)    

    2. Choose the three best reasons why you think it should be legalised

    3. Write a large texas paragraph outlining these examples and why you think it should be legalised

    Then start again

    1. Complete research on why it shouldn't be legalised.  (you need evidence, you can’t just say because it leads to death…. proof??)

    2. Choose the three best reasons why you think it shouldn’t be legalised.

    3. Write a large texas paragraph outlining these examples and why you think it shouldn’t be legalised. 


    3.   Hosting a party

    Your last task is to imagine you are hosting a party.  There will be alcohol involved.  When you take on the responsibility of hosting a party there are certain responsibilities you should take to ensure everyone is safe and has a good time.  Complete some research, and apply common sense - what are at least five things you can do to ensure everyone at your house stays safe and gets home safely.

    Welcome back guys!!!

    This week will be a bit of an odd one.  We will be starting off with our new guidelines and procedures in the class.  Then we will move to covering the work set over the ISO period.

    It is important you have a good understanding of your drug and alcohol tasks - it will help both in the end of year exam in in your upcoming assessment for English and P.E.

    We will also get outside for some P.E. - but remember it will look a little different - we cant use too much gear, or combine with other classes, or play games that involve getting in too much of others space.  This will mean a focus on fitness and individual tasks, or skill development.

    We will brainstorm something that suits you guys.
