Intervention

Students will be grouped in teams and assume the role of members of the Bartlesville High School Students Against Methamphetamines organization. Students may use the following primary sources and their interview with TIm Harris, to create a PowerPoint that will play on the school's t.v. system and be available on the school's website, demonstrating to their fellow students, how Oklahoma's meth problem is affecting society locally.

Suggested student roles include: leader, secretary/recorder, fact checker, spokesperson/webmaster.

After viewing the Tim Harris video from News Channel 6, students will [|Skype] with DA Tim Harris and ask questions about the current meth problems in Tulsa and Bartlesville as well as what he thinks can be done to stop the use of methamphetamines.

At the end of the PPT, there should be a slide which provides information on how fellow students can contact the Oklahoma House and Senate committees in support of the current legislation requiring a prescription for the purchase of pseudoephedrine.
