Unit 3 Proposal

For Unit 3, we are going to create arguments around a debate about the adderall abuse by college students. It appears that one of the latest trends in college life is popping prescription drugs to enhance academic performance. Students are increasingly consuming Adderall to heighten concentration during study sessions, risking serious side effects and unknown long term consequences for this behavior. According to recent studies, the rate of non-medical prescription drug use is greatest among students attending colleges. Many students report exaggerating or falsifying symptoms to obtain an Adderall prescription. Some parents are even playing a role in helping their children obtain these medications wrongfully. Some students will even go so far sas to use the drug for recreational use and for dieting. In our study we are going to debate against the use of Adderall by college students who don’t have ADHD.

-For our first argument we are going to develop an informational flyer explaining the cause and effect of the abuse of adderall among college students.

-For our second argument we are going to write an article for a magazine that appeals to the college student age group.

-The third argument we are going to create is a humorous cartoon that reflects the abuse of adderall among college students.
