Now's your chance to shine. To conclude our unit on population and diseases,
I'm turning the class over to you.

ASSIGNMENT
|
|
Your assignment is to teach the rest of
the class about your specific disease, specifically covering the topics
below, in whatever way you choose. Every member of the group must participate
in the presentation, and there are 5 required elements to the lessons themselves.
|
|
REQUIRED ELEMENTS
|
|
-
Three internet sites that pertain to
your subject in a useful manner
-
A written lesson plan. Your lesson
must include:
-
A description of the pattern of infection
(how the disease travels)
-
A description of the symptoms
-
A historical case study of the disease
-
Historical impact of the case study
-
Present-day preventative and/or curative
procedures
-
A visual aid in your lesson (such
as a webpage, powerpoint, poster, overhead, etc.) that includes:
-
An illustration of the virus or bacteria
responsible for the disease
-
An Excel chart/graph illustrating statistics
about your case study
-
A written assessment of your classmates'
learning (such as a quiz, worksheet, or activity) that includes
no fewer than 10 questions. The questions from this activity will be used
in a quiz on the material
-
A graded copy of all of your classmates'
activities (from above) and an answer key/grading scale.
Beyond that, you are on your own. Each
individual will be graded on their research, contributions to the lesson,
and participation in the other groups' lessons. You are welcome, of course
to use your textbooks as a resource during your lesson.
