Research Paper Ebola Virus
The students are asked to read up on the microorganism and report on:
the impact the microorganism is having in the world (or in a particular location)
what is known about this organism?
what is not known about this organism?
what is the direction(s) researchers/scientists/doctors are taking to treat the infectious disease(s)?
what precautions/rules do healthcare providers need to follow so as to not contract or spread the disease?
The student is encouraged to include their personal take on the pathogen.
were they touched by an outbreak?
Good sources for information include:
You may reference reputable web sites such as:
CDC
WHO
NIH
Peer-reviewed scientific journals
Students will submit a 5-page report describing the data presented in the articles along with their beliefs based on what they read. Students are encouraged to add their own thoughts/experiences. The report must be written in the students own words. The student may quote up to 6 sentences from your sources. Points will be taken off if the report contains more than 6 quoted sentences. As an example, if 50% of the paper is quoted (word for word) from any given source, then 50% of the paper is not the students work, even though it is properly sited. The student will only receive 50% of the grade. Bottom line: The paper must be written in the students own words with their take on the subject.
