Students in 9th-grade ELA recently finished up reading “To Kill a Mockingbird.” As part of the finish to the book, the class used “readers theatre” to reenact the trial scene from the book. Students performed with enthusiasm and were all engaged and invested in the activity.
What a great learning experience!

High school health classes recently ended their alcohol prevention unit with stations that emphasized different skills and information from the unit.
A set of “drunk buster” goggles, donated last year by Nate Furman, were used. The goggles simulate different levels of impairment, ranging from a 04 BAC to .35. One stimulates night, another is fatigue, and there are ones for drug impairment as well.
Walton CSD SRO Bill Beers tested the students as a police officer would during a traffic stop. Students enjoyed the reality of this station, and how much the goggles actually interfered with their abilities.
Stations included:
- Finding a person’s BAC and determining what is happening to the body.
- Refusal skills to peer pressure.
- A “Dear Abby” letter to a student who needs help making a decision that is alcohol related, and the students need to use the DECIDE model to answer.
- Reflecting on how their current goals would be affected if alcohol was a presence in their life. This also correlated to what happened to them from a previous assignment.
- How alcohol affects the body.
This was a great lesson and situation to give students some real perspective on life situations and choices.
