Tuesday

Now that you have had an overview on the Coronavirus, you may still have some questions on the severity of it. Take what you learned in Health and Science class; what do you know about virus’? What are some things that you should be doing to protect yourself? . Also, think about human interactions that led to spreading the virus. Click HERE to watch this video on keys to prevention. After viewing the video, imagine you were the principal of a school and you had to come up with rules to keep your students safe. Put together acceptable interactions that help prevent COVID-19, and unacceptable interactions that increase COVID-19.

Monday

Have you heard of COVID-19, or better known as Coronavirus? The impact that a single virus can make on humanity has taken its toll, forcing countries to shut down places of leisure, schools, and businesses. What are your thoughts on it? In this week’s lesson, we will dive into different aspects of this pandemic to get you thinking critically on certain situations. Click HERE to watch a video about how Coronavirus got started. After viewing the video, write a 2-3 sentence comment about some facts that you didn't know before watching the video. Did those facts catch your attention in a positive, or negative way? What do you think we will be discussing in this section?

Wednesday

For some people, the Coronavirus has become a joke and do not want to obey the recommendations that the CDC and WHO have outlined for prevention and safety from the Coronavirus. Are you one of these people? Why do you think some have been seriously affected, and others have not? What does asymptomatic mean? Take some time to watch this VIDEO and gather some thoughts on why this happens? After watching, create a graph that shows the populations that are affected the most by COVID-19.

Thursday

Black Death, Spanish Flu, Swine Flu...Do those sound familiar? You might have heard about them in History class. Some of the deadliest pandemics have hit our civilization before, and we learned a lot about how they affected society. Watch this VIDEO on the deadliest pandemics in history. After the video, each student is responsible for submitting a drawing of ONE of these diseases. Attached to the drawing should be a couple of paragraphs on how it affected society during that time, and how you think it might have affected today’s society.

Friday

We have reached the end of this weeks blog assignment, and it’s time to wrap up everything we learned. Each student is responsible for taking this QUIZ (click quiz) and sharing their results with the instructor. Along with the results, each student should include a question that they came up with that they would have included in the quiz.
