Wrap up your Drugs and Alcohol / ATOD unit with a project that lets students showcase their learning in ways they’ll ACTUALLY LIKE with this Substance Education Choice Board Project. It’s a totally customizable Google Slides project where students can pick from five creative formats—like podcasts, PSAs, or comics—based on what they enjoy most. Whether it’s the quiet student who’d rather not stand up in front of the class or the chatty teen who can’t wait to make a TikTok-style video about saying no to peer pressure, there’s something for everyone.

Fentanyl: Explain the dangers of fentanyl, its prevalence, and how teens can stay informed and safe.
