 * <span style="background-color: initial; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">[|Infectious Support:]

Summary Assessment || Respond to the **Epidemiology, Cause, and Transmission** primary posts. Recall that a response must contribute significantly to the discussion by adding in new information, or relating information to another discussion section in the Ning. Posts that detract from the discussion will lower your score on the [|rubric]. If you created a primary post for a section, you do not have to respond to it, but should read all responses.

In class you will be asked to make predictions about the future of your disease based on your graph and the information you gained from the Ning. This is an individual assignment. || <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">4B: Thursday, June 2 <span style="color: #ff0000; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">5W: Friday, May 27 || Response #1;

Data Table & Graph Due;

Revisit Backstory || Respond to the **Treatment** and **Symptoms** primary posts. Recall that a response must contribute significantly to the discussion by adding in new information, or relating information to another discussion section in the Ning. You may contribute to discussions in other disease groups, but you will only be evaluated on the posts to your group. Posts that detract from the discussion will lower your score on the rubric. If you created a primary post for a section, you do not have to respond to it, but should read all responses.

Using the data found in class, create a data table and graph for reported cases of your disease. These should be printed to turn in to your teacher. Each group member will do this on his or her own. See the product descriptor for more information.

Revisit your back-story. Add in treatments that you are seeing into your profile based on the Treatment section of your group. || <span style="color: #008000; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 120%;">Due for all classes: morning of Thurs, May 26 || <span style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">Primary Post || <span style="border-collapse: separate; color: #333333; font-family: 'Lucida Grande','Lucida Sans Unicode',sans-serif; line-height: 19px;">Complete constructed responses to the prompts for your assigned primary post section.
