//Laurina Neumann// [|Smoke screen: A smoking prevention resource]

//Smokescreen// aims to provide young people with knowledge relating to the effects of smoking and the skills to advocate against smoking. It assists students to critically examine marketing strategies. Particular attention is given to product placement in movies / television and cigarette packaging used to recruit young people, especially females. The resource includes activities addressing three themes:
 * Physical consequences of smoking
 * Attitudes to smoking
 * Advocating against smoking.

Family activity sheets have also been included in the resource to support and enhance learning in the classroom. Selected teaching and learning activities have been adapted for use with interactive technologies, including the interactive whiteboard.

I would use the resource for years 5-6 (VELS level 4). The document has plenty of activities with teaching notes and teaching objectives for each activity. This resource was developed for NSW Health syllabus which also has a resource for years 7-8 which caries on from this one.
