Learning Outcome 
Promoting Health of Individuals and Communities: Level 4 (1999 Qld Health and PE Curriculum)

Students propose ways of responding to situations and behaviours that are unsafe, 
harmful or risky, after assessing options and consequences.

Encourage your students to develop their own set of questions before they begin researching their different perspectives (roles). This can be modeled in the background stage when students research and discuss drug use in sport. It is important that students have a good knowledge and understanding of key issues to form a base for their own critical thinking.

Use the Internet and software to:

  • set-up Discussion Boards or chats with experts,

  • email people in the know,

  • use CD-ROMS on the Olympics, 20th Century, Encyclopedia's etc

  • organise Web casts, video and audio conferencing with Athletes, IOC members etc

  • research websites - data, newspapers, archives, medical information etc


Students will research drug use and their impact on the Olympics. Their knowledge and the WebQuest problems will help them to think deeply about the impact of drug use in sport and hopefully come up with some solutions. 
They will be able to identify unsafe, harmful and risky situations and behaviours that concern athletes.
