Day 57 - Family Linked Diseases and Prevention

Today we went over our Family Pedigrees (66) and reflected on what we learned by finding out our family's medical history.

Students then received the handout Family Linked Diseases (69) with a list of what some diseases were, and some risk factors for them.

Students then were instructed to demonstrate their understanding of the risk factors and protective factors for disease and create an advertisement for assignment 68 - Disease Prevention Poster. Which asked to study one of the diseases, and create an advertisement with 2 protective factors, 2 pictures, and a slogan.

Some were then shared with the class.
