Process

1. First and foremost, you will be required to share your thoughts to revise and refresh the effects of alcohol on the body. Pay particular attention to both short term and long term effeccts and try to recognise some of the greatest concerns surrounding alcohol consumption and driving. The effects of alcohol will be arranged in a brainstorm (Inspiration document) and a copy will be sent to each of you for your records. 2. A selection of past and present advertising campaigns regarding anti-drink driving messages will be available for you to browse through at your own leisure from a selection of different mediums including; TV, radio, and billboard. You and the committee members will form small groups to discuss the strengths and weaknesses of one of the advertisements and present a relatively informal report on your findings. 3. You will then open the discussion board on your myclasses page and proceed to answer a series of questions posed to you by the teacher to help you gain a deeper understanding of the issues and alternatives available to drinking and driving. This discussion will help you identify the initial feelings of the committee towards the issue of drink driving and may have significant implications for your final conclusions and recommendations to Austroads. You will need to refer to this information in due time to summarise your initial response. 4. In small groups you will each be given 1 of 10 scenarios of people who are planning to have a drink and then find themselves in a situation where they have to drive. In your groups you are to predict whether or not the person in your scenario is under the legal limit for alcohol consumption and whether or not they would be capable of driving. After arriving at an agreement between the group members, you will then enter the BAC test link which will take you to a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) calculator where you can enter in the specifics of the scenario and calculate the approximate theoretical BAC for that person. Compare your initial answer with the calculation from the website. In your groups you may need to consider some of the extenuating circumstances which may further increase or decrease the effect of alcohol on the body.
