Disease is in the Air: Questioning

Questioning
What do you need to know to solve the problem or make the decision?

With your teammate, open the Questioning Chart and save as directed by your teacher.

Questions to consider:

1. What do you already know about communicable and noncommunicable diseases?
2. What do you already know about:

Tuberculosis
Leukemia
Influenza
Measles
Diabetes
Asthma

Record what you know now about these diseases with your teammate.

As you begin finding some information about these diseases, keep these questions in mind:

1. Is a cure close to being found or is it far away?
2. How does this disease affect our society?
3. What are the arguments against funding for this disease and how would you counter those arguments?

Print out your completed Questioning Chart and meet with your teacher.

You may also want to look at the teacher checklist to view future checkpoints for this project.
