Educators can utilize these classroom lesson plans developed specifically for Texas’ Red Ribbon Week. The Texas Department of State Health Services and Partnership for a Drug-Free Texas are excited to provide these new resources in support of Red Ribbon events throughout the state.
- The Healthy Choices Lesson Plan teaches students the various ways drug use/abuse can be prevented by making healthy choices. They will identify the biggest concerns they have about drug use/abuse, develop ideas for how to solve the drug use/abuse problem, and learn some positive ways to refuse drugs if they are offered to them.
- The Texas Legislative Process Lesson Plan teaches students the various ways drug use/abuse can be prevented through the legislative process. They will learn how laws are made, write a drug-use prevention bill, and debate the bill before a mock legislature comprised of their peers. The mock legislative sessions can be staged in the classroom.
