Lesson Plan

Drugs: Grades 3-5

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Two lessons take a close look at drug prevention. The first lesson, split into two sessions, challenges learners to gather information from an article, answer questions, then create a poster that encourages others to stay away from drugs. In lesson two, pupils act out an original skit showcasing how to deal with peer pressure.
