Seeing Through the Haze Education Resources

Seeing Through the Haze develops health literacy and equips students with critical knowledge and critical thinking skills. Laid out as a sequence of learning activities over three modules, Seeing Through the Haze takes a whole-of-school approach, developing active learners with the capabilities to:

• Understand how vapes work and the health harms of vaping;
• ‘See through the haze’ of misinformation, understand social and commercial determinants of health, and investigate cessation techniques;
• Create their own campaign for smoke and vape-free places.

Teaching Guides

To support the delivery of Seeing Through the Haze, Quit has developed teaching guides for Year 5-6 and Year 7-10 delivery. The Teaching Guide is designed to be used alongside the student education resource. It explains the structure of the resources, contains lesson planning and delivery suggestions, curriculum links and answers to the activities.

Educators can select and choose which activities are delivered depending on their students’ needs, interests, learning abilities and timetables. Possible extension activities are also included should you wish to deepen student learning further.
