After Mr. Richards decided upon the alcohol-related subjects he wanted to discuss, he determined that he would pass out the class assignments to his students the following Tuesday afternoon. When the time arrived for the class assignments, Mr. Richards distributed some basic alcohol abuse and alcohol dependency documents and then told his students about the three topics he chose.
Mr. Richards then briefly went over the documents he passed out and talked for around ten minutes about the essential differences between alcohol abuse and alcoholism. He also made it a special point to inform the students that the term "alcoholism" is interchangeable with the terms "alcohol addiction" and "alcohol dependency."
Due to the fact that his students displayed a lot of enthusiasm and anticipation about their task, Mr. Richards decided to inform the class that one-half of the assignment included writing a twenty page, double-spaced term paper about one or two of the alcohol-related subjects or about all three topics. He then revealed that the second half of their assignment would be a ten-minute speech in front of the class that focused on their composition.
As a reward for their extraordinary academic accomplishment, the students with the top two grades on the in-class presentation and on the research composition will be asked to present their project at the tri-county drug and alcohol abuse prevention symposium at the state capital during the second week in March.
After the students heard about the entire assignment, many of them wanted a deeper explanation and an illustration of one of the sub-topics that they could select for their class presentation and for their composition. In short, even though they were enthused about their project, they wanted further guidance so that they would not turn in an inferior product.
Mr. Richards was ready for the questions he received and so he began going over four or five alcohol dependency signs and symptoms on which the students could focus their research. For example, Mr. Richards went over the following alcohol addiction symptoms and signs: cloudy thinking, an obsession with drinking, getting arrested for a DWI, loss of control, and boasting and a "big shot" complex.
Due to the fact that there were many different alcohol dependency signs and symptoms from which to select, Mr. Richards stated that he was not at all worried about the probability that that two or more classmates would choose the identical alcohol addiction signs and symptoms for their class assignment. If truth be told, even if more than one pupil chose the same alcoholism symptoms or signs, this would not be a bad thing since each student would have his or her own slant on the topic.
Mr. Richards then mentioned that while there were many different alcoholism signs and symptoms that could be selected, the class could also focus their research on alcoholism statistics or on alcoholism effects. When the comprehensive nature of all three topics was considered, the number of possible topics was practically unlimited.
Why did Mr. Richards decide upon alcohol addiction symptoms and signs, alcohol dependency effects, and alcoholism statistics as the subject matter for this student project? Mr. Richards' basic goal was that by compelling each pupil to follow a line of investigation into one, two, or three of the alcohol-related topics he assigned, all the pupils would have a more complete comprehension of a relevant and complex topic such as alcoholism.
Mr. Richards also felt that by augmenting the awareness of his students about the terribly unhealthy and devastating outcomes of alcohol dependency and the bleak existence that most alcoholics go through, his pupils might think more deeply before they get begin drinking in an irresponsible and abusive manner.
