Please email Mr.Way(MDWay@EDUCBE.ca from another @educbe.ca) with the following information:

To do this you will have to answer the following questions: (as usual, not all questions will apply and some questions will apply that aren't listed.

• Using proper anatomical terminology, describe what the disorder is.
• Explain how the disorder develops.
• Describe the triggers for the disease. Is it sudden(acute)? Chronic?
• What signs and symptoms does the disease show?
• What is the medical treatment for this disease? Include both short term treatments and long term treatments.
• What kind of preventative steps can someone who might be susceptible to this sort of disease (genetically, for example) take to keep themselves healthy?
• What kinds of things would somebody who has this disease or disorder do to control it?
• What references did you use to find all of this out?

And onto how we present this. I will give you a few choices here including (but not limited to)

• Posting it on this blog.
• Presenting it in front of the class.
• As a brochure.
• As a video.
• If you have another way of presenting it, please pass it by Mr.Way.
