LEARNING ACTIVITY SHEET
S.Y. 2020 - 2021
I - ESSENTIAL IDEAS
II - LEARNING EXPERIENCES
A. Clarifying Understanding (Day 1)
Gateway drugs are habit – forming substances that may not be addictive but may lead to the use of
other addictive and dangerous drugs. People use gateway drugs are encouraged to experiment with
other drugs.
Directions: Complete the key diagram below. List two gateway drugs in the two smaller boxes and the
examples of dangerous and illegal drugs in the bigger box. This part is good for 1 hour.
B. Processing Questions (Day 2)
Alcohol and cigarettes are considered as gateway drugs. The habitual use of these substances opens
the door to the use of other harder drugs such as cocaine, heroin, and others. Other gateway drugs are
marijuana, inhalants, and some prescription drugs.
Directions: Explain the following questions, before you begin answering read again the lesson carefully
and plan what you will say. Your answer should be as well as organized and as carefully written as you
can make it. Use another sheet of paper for your answer. You are given 1 hour to complete the task.
1. In your own words, what is gateway drugs?
2. Why do people take those addictive and dangerous drugs?
3. As a student, how your family prevent from cigarette smoking and alcohol drinking?
C. Framing Concepts (Day 3)
Cigarette smoking affects every part of the body, both inside and out. The harmful chemicals found in
cigarettes and in cigarette smoke damage the cells. The effects of alcoholism are not limited to the
alcoholic and his or her family. The damaging effects are also felt in the community he or she belongs
to.
Direction: In this part, write acrostic poems about smoking and alcohol. You may use words or phrases
that describe or remind you of the topic word. The first word in each line of your poem should start with
the letters of the topic words. This part is good for 1 hour to finish.
D. Lifelong Learning (Day 4)
Smoking in public places in your community exposes the non – smokers, especially the infants and
children, to the harmful effects of second – hand and third – hand smoke. As a member of the
community, it is your civic duty to be responsible to the health of the other members of the community.
Many people do not realize how alcohol affects their physical and mental health. Alcohol affects every
organ in the body, especially the central small amounts of alcohol, leaving the excess alcohol circulating
throughout the body.
Directions: In the last part of learning experiences, write a poem entitled, “EFFECTS OF SMOKING
AND DRINKING ALCOHOL ON FAMILY AND COMMUNITY.” Write it on a space provided below.
Suggest other healthful alternatives that you can personally apply in your own life and family that will
prevent you from cigarette smoking and alcohol drinking.
