If a bacterial disease were considered to be human, it would probably be arrested for its crimes.
But before you can arrest someone, you need to let people know about them. Thus the development of a Wanted Poster.
We are going to make Wanted Posters for various bacteria. The Bacterium for the poster will be chosen
by the student. He or she will then perform some research on the disease for the poster. There is a link below to help
find some information about bacteria.
The poster will be interesting to look at, as well as very informative.
It will include the following:
- Pictures: Drawn or actual (downloaded)
- Name of Bacteria: common and scientific
- Shape of Bacteria
- Where it can be found in the world
- How it can be contracted
- What problems does it cause
- How dangerous are theses symptomes?
- And heres a new one, what impact in History has this bacteria caused (i.e. The Bubonic Plague wiped
out one third of the population in Europe)
- Reward. This is completely student developed. The Reward must fit the crime. No more than
$100,000. I will be grading on how well this decision is made (HInt: Bacteria that does not kill should not get
the highest Rewards).
Bacteria Web Site
This link is to the Center for Disease Control. If you go under the section "Site Listing,"
click on the link for Disease Listing to see an alphabetical list of diseases. Be sure to check under the General
Information to find out if this disease is a Bacterium or not. You are doing a poster on Bacteria only!
