  • What is the topic you are reading about?  Juvenile Drug Abuse
  • What is the source citation? Just copy and paste it from the bottom onto your blog. DO NOT COPY THE URL!  "Juvenile Drug Abuse." Opposing Viewpoints Online Collection. Detroit: Gale, 2015. Opposing Viewpoints in Context. Web. 7 Oct. 2015.
  • Summarize the central idea of the overview in one or two sentences IN YOUR OWN WORDS.  Juvenile's in America are abusing all types of illegal narcotics and getting addicted.
  • List two to four specific details that support the central idea IN YOUR OWN WORDS.  Data suggest that teens are at increased risk of drug abuse when there is a history of alcohol or drug abuse in the home.  Parents who set clear and reasonable rules and enforce them consistently, who provide appropriate supervision, and who communicate their expectations about drug use reduce the likelihood that their adolescents will abuse drugs.
  • Create an opportunity for further research by writing down two questions the text raises about the central idea (explicitly or implicitly). Explicit means stated clearly and in detail, leaving no room for confusion or doubt, while implicit means implied though not plainly expressed.  What is the most abused drug?  Does marijuana really count?
  • Write down one word or phrase whose meaning you do not fully understand.  Circuitry
  • Next, write down what may be preventing you from understanding it (is it an unrecognizable term? an unfamiliar person, place, or allusion?)  Unrecognizable term.
  • Use a third party resource (dictionary, thesaurus, Google search) to find its definition or meaning. Write it down.  Electric circuits collectively.
  • Write one question about the overview that you can pose to your peers in a discussion.  Have you ever done drugs?
