Μάθημα : CLASS B- ADDICTIONS

Learning Objectives

By completing this activity, you will be able to:

• Analyze complex cases of addiction.
• Identify multiple causes and consequences.
• Visualize your analysis creatively.
• Propose realistic solutions and support strategies.
• Participate in constructive dialogue.
• Understand the connection between personal, social, and psychological factors.

Step-by-Step Instructions

 Step 1—Study & Create

1. Work in groups of 3.
2. Go to the “Documents” section in e-class. You will find 8 case studies (e.g., “John’s Screen World,” “Elena’s Likes Bubble”).
3. Read your assigned story carefully. Highlight key words.

• What are the roots of the problem?
• What are the main characteristics of the addiction?
• What are the immediate consequences?
• What solutions do you suggest?

4. Use the template (attached in the Documents) as a guide to organize your ideas and create your “Tree of Causes & Solutions.” You can draw it:

• By hand (and take a clear photo).
• Using a diagram tool (Canva, Google Drawings, MindMeister, PowerPoint).

Tree structure:

Roots: Deeper causes (e.g., stress).

Trunk: The addiction itself (e.g., gaming).

Branches/Leaves: Immediate consequences (e.g., academic failure).

Fruits: Proposed solutions (e.g., psychological support).

5. Add a Title & a Slogan:

Give your tree a clear title (e.g., “John’s Tree”).

Add a short slogan or message that shows the main idea behind your tree (e.g., “Break the Chain” or a hashtag like #StopAddiction). You can write your slogan directly on your diagram or include it when you upload it.

Step 2—Upload to Forum

1. Go to the “Forum” section and find the topic “The Tree of Causes & Solutions.”
2. Create a new post:

• Add a title (e.g., “Elena’s Tree”).
• Upload your diagram as an image or PDF.
• Add 2–3 sentences explaining your main takeaway or a question you still have.
• Include your slogan if you didn’t write it on your tree.

Step 3—Complete & Discuss

1. Check your classmates’ trees.

2. Reply to at least 2 posts. You can:

• Explain what you understand from their tree.
• Agree or suggest a new “root” (cause) or new “fruit” (solution).
• Compare it with your tree.
• Ask a question to help them expand their ideas.

 IMPORTANT! Be polite, constructive, and supportive. The goal is to learn from each other.
