A simple but effective activity that links to a modern and very relevant video on Teachers TV. The video is 25 minutes long with sections dedicated to alcohol, cannabis, cocaine, crack cocaine and ecstasy. After each section pause the video and pupils add information to the printable slides on teh PowerPoint. They then swap sheets to add information to others. FRANK booklets also help.
