Classwork (5/19):


 * HW due Wednesday (5/19):** You should be working on your human diseases project! It is time to locate and access (step 3 of Big6) which means you must find information in the sources that you found. Go back and look at the criteria (what needs to be discovered). Not all sites will have everything which is good because you want quality information. **You should be able to post these sites on a pages document for hand-in on Thursday**. __(Understandably there might be one or two criteria that you may not find right away such as "daily life" and cost of disease, or personal interview)__

Learn through fun activities - This is so addictive!!! Whack a Bone! http://www.anatomyarcade.com/games/WAB/WAB.html Poke a Muscle http://www.anatomyarcade.com/games/PAM/PAM.html


 * HW due Monday(5/17):** Information seeking strategies page is due. I have a berio cast down below for those of you who are not sure how to access the information using our library resources . Also due is this document on the integumentary system (ch. 22, section 4).[[file:Integumentary system.pages]]

Students: Look below at the class list and find your name assigned to a disease. You will be researching information on this disease. I have attached two documents that will need to be completed over the course of the project time.


 * Human Body Project:** I have decided that I will randomly assign you a disease UNLESS you have a "personal" connection with one of these diseases. When I say personal that means you may be close with someone who is afflicted with the disease. __E-mail me before 11:30 am on Friday (5/14)__. Below you will find the handout I gave you in class. I will have other documents tomorrow outlining due dates, etc.

Thanks to Colin Shin, he gave me this site, sendspace, which can handle larger files! I love it when the students are the teachers!
