=== This lesson is organized into 5 parts , each bringing a new component of disease exploration to the finished project. Each part of the lesson will not involve an entire class period of activity, so it can be intertwined with another lesson. The completion of this project will involve the student completing research outside of the classroom and preparing it to share with their peers.=== === The intent of this project is to keep student choice of their topic up to them, but you will need to limit what they sign up for so that you do not have duplicate presentations. For this reason you will see that they must return on the second class with a minimum of three choices for their project. This becomes a first come first serve sign-up as they enter class. As you begin this lesson you may find it helpful to have a master list of topics they can choose from, I choose to allow them the freedom to explore new diseases. Here is where it is difficult as you will be learning about new diseases as you go, its tough to know all of them. After they are assigned are working to complete part 2 I divide them into small groups to develop part 3. Here again you will need to know some basics about the disease. I have found that having the students complete a brief outline of information in Part 2 assist both you organizing and them in becoming an expert the disease.===
 * // The Process for teachers //**
 * Skills you will need as the teacher to complete this lesson is listed below: **

File transfer knowledge (flash, dvd, cd, etc); not a necessity but will make it much easier.
===Basic knowledge of diseases affecting humans, if you don’t have this you will need to spend sometime researching the diseases you allow your students to pick. With this in mind keep your student choices limited to prevent a ton of work on you.===

Each of these could be obtained by the novice teacher. Depending on your background in technology will determine the difficulties you may face.

 * PART 1 **
 * PART 2 **


 * = Description ||=  ||= Transmission ||=  ||= Prevention ||=  ||= Symptoms ||


 * Short Term Effects ||  || Long Term Effects ||   || Curability ||   || Communicable? ||


 * Body Part Effected ||  || Who/what can be infected? ||   || Treatments ||   || Presence in our communities ||

1. Using the above information create an outline as if you were working for the CDC as a health expert on this disease. 2. Keep in mind that you are the expert, those who will be looking at your outline may have no prior knowledge of this disease. <span style="font-family: Verdana; mso-bidi-font-family: Verdana; mso-fareast-font-family: Verdana; msofareastfontfamily: Verdana; msobidifontfamily: Verdana; msolist: Ignore;">3.

As a participant in class be sure to keep notes on what is being presented as you to will be getting a test from the rest of the class. <span style="font-family: Verdana; mso-bidi-font-family: Verdana; mso-fareast-font-family: Verdana; msofareastfontfamily: Verdana; msobidifontfamily: Verdana; msolist: Ignore;">5. Your test should be typed using Microsoft Word saved in our Health class common drive folder. Be sure to label your test as Health Project Test Questions.
