This guide outlines the essential steps for researching and presenting information on a chosen disease. It includes instructions for selecting a disease, the required areas of research such as general overview, causes, symptoms, transmission, prevention, and treatment, as well as recommendations for resources. Students will create informative note cards for each research area and present their findings on a poster. The poster will be graded based on neatness, coverage of topics, bibliography, and presentation skills.
