This week, students in Mrs. Cabrales’s health class are learning about the health impacts of various substances. Here, students decoded vaping advertisements to identify the clever techniques advertisers use to appeal to young people and encourage vaping. By learning to recognize these tactics, our students are building the skills to make informed, healthy choices!
