Introduction
Drug Education has become a vital content within the education syllabus as the education system develops, this is because there is an increasing amount of drug-affected incidents occurring within our nation. It is important that children learn about it before they are confronted by it in the social field. An authentic way to teach students about drug education and how addictive it can be, is to have them research a particular drug addiction of their choice. This is where they will be creating a presentation in pairs to their peers about the particular drug addiction they have researched So that by the end of the presentation period children are able to enhance their knowledge about drug education, a large component of the health and physical education syllabus.

Task Overview
Students in pairs or groups of three are given five health lessons (as they only have one lesson in class each week) to create a health presentation addressing a particular drug addiction in the form of a technology based method such as a powerpoint and a speech, Video presentation, Etc. Students will begin to present their tasks in week 6 and are expected to fill out the information evaluation handout for every group that presents. This is to ensure that children learn about a variety of drug addictions as part of their Year 9 syllabus.
