Smoke Free for Life:
Tobacco use prevention curriculum supplement (grades
P–9; English and French)
As indicated earlier
in this supplement, tobacco is not addressed within this
resource because of the availability of a resource on this
topic. Smoke-Free
for Life is a
series of three curriculum supplements designed to help
prevent the use of tobacco. They contain grade-specific
lesson plans, overheads, and masters. Published in 1996 and
revised in 2002, the manuals cover grades primary–3,
4–6, and 7–9. The content is designed to mesh
with the Nova Scotia Elementary School Health Curriculum
and the Junior High School Healthy Living Curriculum.
The resource is teacher-friendly and has been evaluated by
teachers at all three grade levels. Lessons require minimum
preparation time. Detailed, easy-to-follow lesson plans
include masters and overhead transparencies. Background
“infosheets” prepare teachers to lead
discussions. Suggestions for lesson variation assist in
adapting lessons for the needs of the class. Ideas for
extension activities invite continuation of learning across
the curriculum.
