Human
Disease and Disorder Symposium by
Judy
Jones
An Exhibition Project – Biology 2
Assignment Sheet
Description of the project:
- You will work individually or with a partner (requires prior
approval)
- You will select a human disease or disorder to research. This
should be a topic that you are passionately interested in! Your
disease or disorder may be genetic, pathogenic, psychological,
nutritional/environmental or it may be a disability or aging disorder.
- You will use materials from libraries, the internet, interviews,
etc., to develop a deep understanding of the causes and characteristics
of your topic. Interviews make particularly interesting additions
to your research. These could be interviews with people who have
the disease/disorder or with researchers/doctors/nurses.
- You will write A RESEARCH PAPER, CONSTRUCT A BROCHURE and PREPARE
AN EXHIBITION
Symposium Presentation
- Your exhibition is in addition to the research paper and the
brochure.
- Be creative! You could present a skit of “a day in the
life of the individual” with the disease or disorder.
- You could create a video, write a drama or documentary, do a
photographic journal, write a children’s book, prepare a
PowerPoint presentation, or create a classy poster (and we do
mean CLASSY!).
- You might illustrate the characteristics and experiences of
people with the disorder/disease through some artistic expression
(poetry, painting, sculpture, etc.)
- You could plan an activity and learning experience that involves
a whole classroom of people.
- You will prepare a dynamic, interesting presentation that you
would enjoy experiencing yourself!
