3.24 Don’t Let Drugs Be Your Habits
A one-on-one mentoring lesson from the National FFA “Grow Your PALS” Program Guide (Lesson 3.24, “Don’t Let Drugs Be Your Habits!”) in the Making Good Choices unit. The mentor helps a student identify positive “anti-drug” activities and uses a four-square ball game to compare animal behavior and habits with how good and bad habits—like drug use—affect people. Includes an interest approach, teaching strategies, application activities, and a true/false assessment.
