Disease Presentation

Biological Warfare Research Presentation
Anthrax, Smallpox, Botulism

Because Code Orange by Catherine B. Cooney deals with issues of terrorism and biological warfare, I would like you to complete a research project about an infectious disease. 

A completed project will

v  Have a title slide at the beginning stating the title of the project, your name, and the date

v  Have worked cited slide

v  Be visually appealing

v  Answering the following questions:

1.       What is your disease?

·         How can you get it?

·         What are the symptoms of the disease?

·         Is it curable?  How?

2.       Come up with a TIMELINE for the disease detail major outbreaks in history

·         Where was it?

·         What was thought to be the main cause?

·         How many people were affected? 

·         When did it stop and why?

3.       What is biological warfare?

·         Why is your disease a good candidate for biological warfare?

·         Has it been used in the past?  Where?  When? Why?  Who was harmed?  Who intentionally infected them?

·         Is there anything we do to protect ourselves against this disease?

You will be expected to present your completed project to the class on Friday November 18^th.
