Research
1. Select a disease. Choose one disease to determine the effects on the body, from onset to the end, as well as tracking the disease historically.
2. Ask guiding questions. Once you have selected a disease, think of three to five guiding questions, such as:
- How does this disease affect the body during each stage of its progression
- How have understanding and treatments of this disease evolved throughout history?
- How has this disease impacted the affected populations and their lifestyles? Has it changed the lifestyles of unaffected populations?
- How might this disease affect future populations and their lifestyles? What about the lifestyles of unaffected populations?
- At least one question must be your own original Why or How question!
3. Create a research proposal. Due Friday, 4/8
- Chosen disease
- Guiding questions
- 3 resources
4. Conduct the research. A minimum of 4 sources need to be researched, and Wikipedia will NOT be accepted.
The Presentation - Due Monday, 4/18
You will make a formal presentation as if you are an expert on the disease you researched. In your presentation, you will discuss:
- The disease’s history
- Ways to fight the disease
- What could hinder this progress
- Ethical issues in researching and fighting the disease
- Economic impacts of the disease
- Answers to your guiding questions
- Works cited - 4 sources
