Investigating a Current Disease COVID-19 Classroom Activity on the new emerging strain of coronavirus known as SARS-CoV-2.

Students, singly or in groups make an oral presentation on a topic of current interest.

Presentation Upload Date: April 26th, 2020, Group Questions, DB by April 29th, 2020. Answers to Group Questions on the DB by May 3, 2020.

Please Note, you will be posting your slides in two different places, one under this assignment for me and the other on the Page with access to the Post-it Bulletin Board for the whole class to have access to your PPTs.

Information including picture of organism/disease process/or other pertinent info. Includes detailed descriptions, diseases processes and explanations. Use of scientific journal and resources, which should be listed in the specific slide notes. Note: All members who contributed to the research and writing process should have their names written inconspicuously on the slides. See the presentation Rubric (you can view it by clicking on the wheel).

For the oral presentation, student makes connections with the course and concepts learned in this course.

You can use the Internet and library databases for scholarly and scientific references. The following are some of the ones you should take a look at.
