Disease Website Project

Recently, there has been an outbreak of (3) Malaria in Nigeria. It is your

job as a public health
official to let the community know what is going on and help to educate them on
this disease. Create a website that provides all the facts the people need without
creating panic. Please include a public announcement, background
information, transmission, symptoms/diagnosis, treatment, and
prevention. Also include pictures, graphs, and maps.
The purpose of this unit project is to focus on various infections that
pathogens cause in people, animals, and plants. The goal is to gain more knowledge
on these diseases and to present it visually so that your classmates or anyone else
viewing the website will become aware of your assigned disease. You are not limited
to the information listed above but please include everything listed in the rubric.
Elaborate on each topic listed above in order to fully educate others on your
assigned disease. Take this project as an opportunity to be creative while teaching
others.
