Below is the
Introduction to Learning Theme Three
as
found in the Curriculum Supplement. Read through the
overview for Learning Theme Three.
In
Learning Theme
Three, students explore positive
ideas about drinking alcohol that are promoted and
reinforced in ads for alcohol. A key component of this
exploration includes understanding the consequences of
drinking—the negative side of alcohol use that is
seldom alluded to in alcohol ads.
Students will discuss some
common myths about drinking that seem to be upheld in
alcohol advertising. In groups, students create their own
parody ads that try to portray the reality of the
consequences of drinking.
