Designed to aid middle school-aged students to understand better the problems illegal drugs pose for schools, and to provide students with an opportunity to come up with solutions, this illustrated curriculum guide helps students examine the problem of drugs in an imaginary school called Jackson Middle School. Students are asked to work with other members of their class to develop a plan to deal with the problem of drugs in that school. The lessons included in the curriculum are: (1) What is your opinion about the use of illegal drugs? (2) How serious is the drug problem at Jackson Middle School? (3) What can you learn from newspapers about the national drug problem? (4) How serious is the national drug problem? (5) What makes a good rule? (6) What should be considered in creating a plan to solve the drug problem? and (7) How can your class develop a plan for solving the drug problem at Jackson Middle School? (DB)
