Senior Project Presentation 1

I will start off asking the class if they can name any diseases that they know. After writing down the list, I will choose a disease from the list given, and show how the disease relates to the Epidemiological Triad. Which is a Venn Diagram, with three circles, the first one says Host, the second one says Pathogen, and the third one says Environment, where the circles meet will say Disease. So for example, Malaria, would be the disease, The host of Malaria is a mosquito and human. The environment that Malaria is usually found in is in, humid tropical. The pathogen is a eukaryotic protists called Plasmodium. My visual would be a poster of the epidemiological triad.

  1. I like your background.

    1. You'll want to format this so that you have an objective, procedure, and check for understanding.

    2. I really like your idea and that you use an example. You'll want to make it absolutely clear how each of these factors contribute.

    3. Think specifically about how to check for understanding.
