Web Resources (Links)

You need to complete a works cited guide listing the sources (books, Web sites, encyclopedias...) you used to find your information. You should also list any sources you obtained pictures or graphics from. This sheet needs to be turned in at the BEGINNING of Day 3.

Homework due before Rotation B:
Prepare a brief (up to 3 minutes) public service announcement to express your concerns about why people need to be educated about the dangers of atherosclerosis. Your announcement should contain all the answers to the above questions. Make a prop/poster that will help you present your findings to the public.
