This week's assignment was to give the class a presentation in order to make a class discussion. On Tuesday, the first group to go was a group that gave their presentation on drugs, alcohol, and sex. Yes, it was a boys group. I was really impressed with their presentation. They really gave out a lot of information. It was very informative and a lot of the facts they presented to us were staggering statistics. I thought the only way they could have improved that part of the presentation was if they used a power point, it would have made the information and fact easier to retain. It was a lot of information.

         After they went over all of the statistics they had the class take a survey. They wanted to see how our class statistics on drugs and alcohol compared to the national average. Our class was lower compared to the national average statistics on Alcohol abuse. I thought this was interesting. Either some people were not 100% honest in the survey or we have a very well behaved class!

          They group presenting also had the class get into groups to discuss some questions. I found this to be very effective for getting a lot of people in the class participating and not just the same four people. Some people are definitely more outgoing when it comes to raising their hand. It does not necessarily mean that pay attention more. By getting us into groups, I thought it allowed a larger variety of voices to be heard. Over all, I thought that the group did a good job informing the class and getting the class to join together for a constructive class discussion.
