Hi,
I should answer to peer ( peer response) how he might improve their learning objectives. His Topic and learning objectives below.
Teaching Plan Topic: How to prevent substance abuse amongst adolescents and how to promote good choices amongst this age group. (learning objective should include a Bloom's Active Verb.)
Learning Objectives:
In order to be able to determine how to prevent substance abuse amongst teens, it is very important to actually be able to define what addition and/or abuse is. A person must also be able to define the stages of addiction/abuse and know what leads up to it. Once a person is able to define these things, it will be much easier for them to determine whether or not someone has the potential for addiction/abuse or possibly if someone is addicted or abusing. It is also very important when learning to prevent addiction and/or abuse to be able to determine the reasons why teens use tobacco, alcohol, and other drugs. This will help understand the concept and why/how a teen may get addicted. It is also very important to evaluate the dangers of using/experimenting with tobacco, alcohol, and other drugs among adolescents. Typically, the person who got addicted or is abusing started off with experimenting. Therefore, it is very important to understand why the experimenting started and what are the dangers associated with it. It is very important to be able to explain the consequences of drug addiction and abuse in order to help prevent it. If we do not know the consequences why should we prevent it? Therefore the consequences are definitely an important aspect to learn. Lastly, it is very important that a the end of the lesson or teaching plan, the person learning is able to explain how to make good choices when it comes to addictive substances. Also, the learner should understand and be able to explain how to prevent addiction and abuse. The learner should also be able to explain how to look out for signs and symptoms of substance addiction and/or abuse. This will help recognize the problem earlier rather than later. Overall, substance addiction and abuse is a rising problem amongst adolescents, therefore this is something very beneficial to learn about. According to the National Center for Drug Abuse Statistics (2020), 86% of adolescents know someone who smokes, drinks, or uses drugs during the school day. This number is very high and very concerning. This shows explaining why teaching how to prevent drug abuse and addiction is so important.
Addiction is a compulsive, chronic, physiological or psychological need for a habit-forming substance, behavior, or activity having harmful physical, psychological, or social effects.

Dangers of using drugs::
Drug use can have a wide range of short- and long-term, direct and indirect effects. These effects often depend on the specific drug or drugs used, how they are taken, how much is taken, the person's health, and other factors. Short-term effects can range from changes in appetite, wakefulness, heart rate, blood pressure, and/or mood to heart attack, stroke, psychosis, overdose, and even death. These health effects may occur after just one use.
Longer-term effects can include heart or lung disease, cancer, mental illness, HIV/AIDS, hepatitis, and others. Long-term drug use can also lead to addiction. Drug addiction is a brain disorder. Not everyone who uses drugs will become addicted, but for some, drug use can change how certain brain circuits work. These brain changes interfere with how people experience normal pleasures in life such as food and sex, their ability to control their stress level, their decision-making, their ability to learn and remember, etc. These changes make it much more difficult for someone to stop taking the drug even when it’s having negative effects on their life and they want to quit.
Drug use can also have indirect effects on both the people who are taking drugs and on those around them. This can include affecting a person’s nutrition; sleep; decision-making and impulsivity; and risk for trauma, violence, injury, and communicable diseases. Drug use can also affect babies born to women who use drugs while pregnant. Broader negative outcomes may be seen in education level, employment, housing, relationships, and criminal justice involvement.
