GRADING There are 70 total possible points for the final project. The following rubric will be used to assess the quality and creativity of the final project.

Students will research and present scientific information of a disease that occurs in the human population. Students will mirror the efforts of a researcher to accumulate useful data and synthesize it into accessible information. Working individually, each student will have his or her own topic to research and report through either a public service announcement (xtranormal.com) or a voice thread story. The final outcome MUST include a bibliography. Students will use a minimum of four library resources to gather information. The following list of information is an example of information to be included in the final outcome. a. What is the disorder? b. What is it caused by? c. What are the symptoms? d. How can a person acquire the disease? e. How is a person diagnosed? f. How is the person affected by the disorder?—pictures?? g. What are the treatment options for a person with the disorder? h. Will a person live a normal life? i. What is the life expectancy for someone with the disorder? i. Minimum 3-4 pages in length ii. See example on the library wiki page i. Minimum 4 episodes, no longer than 30 seconds each (2 minutes total) i. 2 minutes total with a minimum of 4-5 images
