Below is the
Introduction to Final Session, as found in the
Curriculum Supplement. Read through the overview for the
Final Session.
The first session of grade 9
introduced or reminded students of the types of
factors-individual, social, and environmental or cultural
factors- that can influence their decisions regarding
alcohol, cannabis, and other drugs. Many of the activities
in the three learning themes of the grade 9 unit clearly
gave students an opportunity to influence others.
This Final Session asks the students to reflect
on what they have learned about influencing factors from
the previous learning themes and activities. It asks
them to demonstrate what they have learned by reflecting
on the way they can influence people.
By assigning the
Final Session's single activity, teachers
have an opportunity to assess student progress and
learning from the unit by students' responses to
identifying their own influences or through the
development of a rubric tailored by individual teachers
for the activity.
