Agenda for 4/28

Hello students! I will not be in class today, so below is the assignment.

1. Read: So what happens to Todd? 

2. Watch: Maine's Heroin Crisis 

3. So what are our options for dealing with the heroin crisis beyond arrests and jail time? Below are five ways that communities are dealing with heroin addiction. Some of these attempt to end the addiction, while others try to reduce the harm of heroin addiction. You will be working with the students at your table to create presentation that teaches the class about one of these approaches.
