Disease Project

Assignment: In this project you will choose a human disease, research the disease, and then prepare a two-page report describing that disease. You should follow the following steps:

1. Choose a disease (not AIDS, please). This project will be easier and more meaningful if you chose a disease that affects you, someone in your family, or someone you know.
Examples of diseases are swine flue, strep throat, tuberculosis, lung cancer, skin cancer, influenza, measles, chicken pox, heart attack, diabetes, tetanus, meningitis, cholera, asthma, anemia, etc…

2. Begin your research. The website www.curtis1.com has links to many good websites that describe many diseases. As you do your research you must document each site that you get information from.
Besides the Internet, you can get information from books, magazines, encyclopedias, or medical professionals. Again you must document any sources of information in your report.

3. You may chose to interview a person that has the disease you researched, or has knowledge about that disease. This is an optional part of your report.

4. You write a two-page report. Please, click HERE to know more details about the information to include in your report.
