The following is an outline of a cross curriculum unit done in my 6th grade classroom here at Salmon River School District. The writing piece is a letter to the editor.

I chose this poem because my grandpa is full Native American and that makes me part Native American. It shows my dad and his beliefs of the heartbeat in the poem that stands for the Indian Nations. I thought that it would be cool to tell about me, my dad, and grandpa being Native American. This poem reminds me of the drum that my grandpa made for my brother made out of real deerskin. My grandpa lives on the reservation where many Natives still live and still practice Native American beliefs. Student at William H. Barton Intermediate School,...

Drugs in Akwesasne are bad. We are a community and should not allow drugs to be in or around Akwesasne. They are bad for everyone. Many teenagers and adults want to try Oxycontin or try to give them to other people but they are really bad and should not be allowed! I want drugs out of Akwesasne because other drug free people and I want to grow up in a safe environment. Someone going up to you and asking you if you want drugs or if you have any, even if they are joking, is bad because some people take that stuff seriously. When I go places and I... Full story
So what Does your Drug Free Journey Look Like? I have witnessed the horrible world of drugs grab onto the people in my community. Once you start on Drugs it is so hard to stop. Most Drug users have a disease called addiction or sometimes referred to as a feeling disease, this makes the person feel uncomfortable in their own body. When you use drugs it becomes harder and harder to tell people why you use or to explain your feelings. We are taught that using drugs can kill your brain cells, blacken your lungs, and greatly damage your heart....
What does a drug free journey look like? My drug free journey would have a great impact on my future in various ways. Without drugs, there are more possibilities of being able to have a better career or getting into college. With drugs, I would lose everything including family, friends, and the things I care about the most. Drugs would affect me when playing sports because smoking marijuana can cause damage to my lungs, meaning I would not have as much stamina or the strength as I need. Next school year I am hoping to get into private school. W...
What does your drug free journey look like? As a 12-year old girl, brought up by a kind and loving family, who were also raised by well brought up drug free parents, I am EXTREMELY against drugs and alcohol. I am also not fond of people that do drugs either. Drugs bring nothing other than regret to a person. You may as well be walking into a black hole if you choose to do drugs. Drugs will not get anyone anywhere. For example, people make horrible decisions and they destroy serious career options. People also may even lose their career on...
My drug free journey would be filled with positive influences that would support my decision to be drug free. I would surround myself with family and friends who are drug free. I would create a drug free environment at home, in school, and around my community. My goals in life are to stay in school then go away to college, so I can grow up to be very successful. When I grow up I want to be a lawyer or a doctor. My parents taught me how to be drug free. They kept me busy by signing me up for sports and fun activities. One of the activities they...
“A man who wants to lead the orchestra must turn his back on the crowd” - Max Lucado There can be many different thoughts that can come from many different people when they read this quote. Some people may think that it’s just another quote and forget about it three seconds after they read it, others may look at it and think that Max Lucado used to like music, but what I think that what this quote means is that a true leader must be modest and courageous enough to turn away from his friends and supporters and go on to bigger things, make their...
