Students will conduct a short research project on their assigned food group and present the information to the class.

Students will be researching a chosen drug in small groups (groups of TWO, with one group of three due to uneven class size), then sharing the collected information about the drug with the class. They will complete a research paper, as well as presentation. The presentation can take any form the students choose (poster, powerpoint, etc) and is open to creativity! The research paper and presentation should include the classification; proper name; street names; methods of consumption; history; effects on physical, mental/emotional, and social health; uses; and demographics (what types of people--some factors to consider would be race, gender, economic status, location, occupation, sexual orientation, etc.) of users. Any additional information will be rewarded with extra credit. The group must also present the class with a short 10 question quiz on their drug.
