Yesterday and today students discussed the articles they found on H1N1. Students worked in small groups to present their articles and practice active note taking. After each group member shared, the class came together to share key points from the discussion groups. There were several terms (such as pandemic, epidemic, immunization and virus) that were mentioned in most articles. To help explain these concepts students watched animations and video clips to further their understanding.
