Current Web Events Scavenger Hunt #1

Unfortunately, many people have been recently impacted by the Zika Virus and Ebola Disease. Students can read more about each disease at the following links:

· https://www.cdc.gov/zika/index.html (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.  

· http://www.who.int/mediacentre/factsheets/fs103/en/ (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.  

Instructions:

For this scavenger, students should use their favorite web search tool to identify a recent news article (published within the last 6 months) that has Zika Virus or Ebola as a primary topic of discussion.

· Next, the student should write a synopsis of the article. The synopsis should not be a point-blank word for word copying of the article, but it should just include key points.

· After the synopsis, the student should write their opinion on how the items discussed, in the article, impact patients now and moving into the future.

· In addition, the student should discuss what we can do, as healthcare professionals/leaders of the new school, to improve quality and limit the spread of these types of outbreaks.

Each submission should be a minimum of 200 words long. Remember the item being identified should be a news article (not a research project, dissertation, or blog). Students should refer to the web scavenger hunt instructions prior to submitting their work.
