Two activities encourage high schoolers to learn about asthma. In the first lesson, learners watch two videos that feature individuals talking about how they manage their condition. Groups then craft videos about how pupils can support peers with asthma and post their work on social media or a school blog. The second activity asks individuals to read articles about the condition then draft an essay in which they share ideas about how government agencies and health organizations might be able to help young people with asthma.
