Enrichment

As representatives of the Bartlesville High School Students Against Methamphetamines organization, team members will create a Wiki that demonstrates the impact of the meth industry in Oklahoma. In addition, a persuasive speech should be prepared that can be read before the OK Senate Committee, advocating the passage of the current legislation which would restrict sales of psedoephedrine to individuals with a prescription.

Students will include information about the post WWII history of drug trafficking and the current effects on society. The wiki should provide links to information about meth and pseudoephedrine, as well as news stories and videos. Students may also conduct their own reporting and interviews to be included on the wiki. Information and opinions regarding the current legislation in the Oklahoma Senate and House should be investigated and presented on the wiki.

The wiki should be open for comments.

If the team members are addressing the violent crime option in this lesson, then they will prepare their Wiki to address that topic. The persusasive speech should address the impact violent crime is having on the state of Oklahoma and the measures necessary to combat this issue.
