UPD8

A good resource especially when used with drunk and dumd resource .

Reviewer: MARION WILLIAMS

very good activity to get kids thinking about the real impact of binge drinking.
Easily adaptable to different abilities.

Reviewer: Micaela Cuminetti

The chart shows the UK drink drive limit as being 4 drinks - enough to make you feel "dull and clumsy, could cause an accident". I think this is misleading (wrong) and potentially dangerous.

I am not sure how the "drinking time" relates to the rest of the data...?

Not up to the usual UPD8 standard

Good discussion for able class

The resources in this worked very well.
The first image was used as a starter inviting up pupils from teams up to the front to remember and draw what they remember. This worked really well.

The students really enjoyed the role play activity and this did give them the opportunity to think from different perspectives.

Reviewer: Richard Fuller

Ok as an introduction but needs additional resources along with it.

Reviewer: Rebecca Glover

Planning to use resources for 3rd set Yr10s. It looks very promising, will just have to wait and see!

Reviewer: Tom Anderson

Very low ability group but they got to grips with the ideas - just took a bit longer. Made them think about issue and how it related to them.

Excellent.
Brilliant resource. Role play worked really well. Done with top set Y9.

Reviewer: James Mitchell

Used this with a top set year 8 group. They really enjoyed writing the letters, and reading them to the rest of the class. It stimulated a lot of heated discussion, especially for one girl whose dad owns the local pub!

Reviewer: Joanne Rankine

I used this activity with a Y10 class. I thought it worked really well and the character cards helped them to think about the issues from different perspectives.

Reviewer: Cheryl Case

This activity ran well in a last-days-of-term context. Rather than asking my pupils to write letters, I simply asked them to write down their basic points and then to present these to the class as a team effort.

One team asked me if they could "do it as a role play" - so we adopted this idea half way through the lesson to great effect with one group in particular. I allowed 4 - 5 mins per group for presentation / role play (had to curb some "more active" boys - but in the end all the presentations were surprisingly sober)

From my observations I am convinced that everyone learnt at least something about alcohol- the adoption of a different persona is a good approach.

Overall this made a quite a well paced and structured 50 minute lesson

Reviewer: Philip Blair

Cards worked really well and pupils all joined in. Class all showed genuine enthusiasm.
Don't think it'll stop them drinking though!
