  First, we need to narrow down our topic and figure out an essential question that we will focus on. So, go to the websites below and answer these questions in your Writer's Notebook.
 * 1) [|Free Vibe] : a. Go to "Drug Facts" tab and write down at least 5 facts you learned. b. In the "Your Story" tab, find an example of a story that struck you, retell it in your notebook.**There is also a page on another website with some really interesting stories: [|Check Yourself stories]. c. Write your own poem under the tab, "Your Story-Word Play". When you are done, email it to me @ ms.coughlin@verizon.net. d. Under the tab, "My Anti-Drug", check out other people's passion, infuence, or hobby what/who keeps them from being involved in drugs. You will create your own word document with images/paragraph explaining your "Anti-Drug".
 * 2) [|Above the Influence]: a. Find the "Girls Journals" page, and write about whose story you enjoyed most and why. b. Go to "Why People Take Drugs"; write down at least 2 reasons that you have heard in your own life. c. Go to the "Speak" tab, take a look at people's photos of what keeps them from drugs (some of them are really cool). Then take a look at the "Words" section, write down at least 3 things that struck you the most. UNDER "SHOW OF HANDS", WE WILL LOOK AT THOSE QUESTIONS FOR INSPIRATION IN OUR PROJECT'S ESSENTIAL QUESTION.
