3.2 Reducing the Risk
Create a brochure/flyer/slide show/talk show about an STI or communicable disease that you have learned about in this lesson.
In your pamphlet include:
• disease name
• how it is spread
• signs or symptoms
• treatment
• prevention
You can produce your brochure/flyer/slide show/talk show using a computer program or you may complete a brochure using paper.
Assessment:
You will be assessed on a four-point scale.
4/4 Work demonstrates superior understanding of the chosen STI / communicable disease. Work is thorough, neat, well-organized and presented, with accurate information and ample detail about how it is spread, signs / symptoms, treatment, and prevention.
3/4 Work fully meets expectations, evidence of good understanding of the chosen STI / communicable disease. Work is neat, well-organized and presented, with accurate information about how it is spread, signs / symptoms, treatment, and prevention.
2/4 Work demonstrates minimal understanding, may be inconsistent or need support in some areas.
Submission Options
- Use the dropbox to attach your computer-based project. (Best idea!)
- Email an attachment to your teacher. (If, for some reason, the course dropbox doesn't work for you.)
If completed on paper:
- Scan it as one big .pdf file (best idea)
- Drop it off with your teacher (also a great idea, but more difficult to return)
- Scan it as multiple .jpg's and put them into a single WORD document
- If no other way works, pull out your phone and take pictures. (Make them good pictures; then embed them all into a single word document.)
If you have a new scanner and are trying to figure out the best way to scan your project for submission, here are some tips:
- Paper Size: 8.5 x 11 inches (most typical - or can re-size later)
- Colour Format: Grayscale (keeps file smaller then color, yet still clear)
- File Type: PDF (best), or JPG (if PDF isn't available)
- Resolution: 150 or 200 (can use 300 if small details don't show with 150/200)
Again, if you are scanning, please do not submit pages as separate files. You can combine your scans into a single document (page-by-page) and submit as one file.
