Teacher Tips for This Project 
The following are possible suggestions to ensure that the research module runs smoothly.
Organizing for the Project:
Students will be working in teams of two. Decide ahead of time whether to assign partners or allow students to select their own partner.
You may wish to print or save this planning overview for your notes.
A teacher checklist may be useful to check or grade students at different stages of the project. You can print this document, or use it in file format-adding your comments as your students work through the project.
Saving Project files:
Be prepared to teach students how to open and save project documents. This may involve creating a folder where you want the files saved. Your LMS can help you with this step.
One suggestion is to save to a folder on the S Drive under the teacher's name. Create a subfolder called Online Health Project or Disease. Direct students to create a unique name for their documents, perhaps using their combined names or initials and a document identifier. For example:JohnMichael Questioning.doc
Students should be encouraged to keep a backup copy in their own h:drive folder as well.
Notes Sheets:
The note taking sheets are provided in two formats. You may select the one which you feel will be best for your students.
- The Disease Notes Sheet lists all 6 diseases on the with the questions at the top of each column.
- The Communicable Disease Notes Sheet and Noncommunicable Disease Notes Sheet separate the types of diseases. This separation give the students more room on the page to type the information they gather.
Students are required to create a bibliography of resources used in their research. The project links to a Disease Bibliography document which gives examples of correct MLA Citation format for books and Internet sites. This has been excerpted from a larger document, MLA Works Cited Format, which contains citation formats for many other source types. You will also find many great tools on Citing Sources for Writing & Research.
