Mini Lesson Plan: Jessica’s Painful Experience (grades 6-8)

After reading the Perception story called “Jessica’s Painful Experience,” students will take part in some follow-up activities to enhance the learning experience.

This story is fiction, but it is based on true events. The idea for the story came from a social worker who used to live in Knoxville, Tennessee. She had clients who had to get their stomach pumped due to either accidentally or purposely taking an overdose of pills or drugs. One of the points of the story is that if you cloud your vision or dull your senses by taking drugs or drinking alcohol, the world will lose out of all your special talents and abilities. Each of you is essential to making the world the best possible place it can be.
