2. Ebola Critical Thinking Task
- launched today
- task is in D2L
- Students are to complete 2 tasks of the 7, one due on Thursday and the other due Wednesday next week
- This project connects current events, humanities and science. Whichever 2 tasks students choose, they need to provide an understanding of the current situation of Ebola (see overview of Ebola below)and how it connects with their science concepts (see below). Furthermore, in order to take this task to the next level in terms of critical thinking, students should make connections to societal worldviews, values and beliefs of the countries and citizens involved, make possible connections to history (finding information through research), and offer various perspectives to the issue.
Students viewed the following videos yesterday and today:
