Summnary of ONE video in Google Classroom

Summnary of ONE video

Remember - this is actually last week's assignment that I gave you an extension on due to state testing.  You only need to do this ONCE.
Choose one of the 14 videos on the website Foundation for a Drug-Free World. The videos are from a short documentary series called "Real People - Real Stories". In your summary you will tell me the following.  The synthetic drugs video is pretty rough to listen to because there are some really sad stories so if you are sensitive to these issues, I recommend another one. So, in your summary, tell me:
1. The title of the video
2. The type of drug(s) that the video spoke about and what it does to your body.
3. Share two people's stories about how they got addicted and how it affected their lives.
4. Share 1-2 facts you learned from the video that you did not know beforehand.

How Privileged are YOU? in Google Classroom

How Privileged are YOU?

Please make a copy of this doc and answer the questions.  Note, there were originally 35 questions but I eliminated 5 because they were geared towards high school / college students.  This is meant to be done in person, by taking steps forward and backwards but we will just give ourselves ONE point for every "no" answer.  So, a "yes" = zero points, and "no" equals one point. Add your points to see how privileged you are.
