INFECTIOUS DISEASE REPORT RUBRIC
During your research you will become an expert on an infectious disease that is caused by a bacterium or virus. You will prepare a three
to five minute oral report that you will present to your classmates. During your research you will be taking notes (for a daily grade) and
bibliographical information. You may use these notes to help prepare your power point. Prior to your presentation you will hand in a
stapled copy of your slides to your teacher. I encourage you to add visual aids to your presentation. Your classmates will be asking
questions and offering you constructive feedback.
The following areas must be addressed during your presentation:
-Signs and symptoms of the disease
-How the disease is spread
-The incubation period of the disease
-What are the preventative treatments or cures for this disease? Be sure to include any unusual or interesting facts and examples
of the disease which will make your presentation interesting
Your research and presentation will be graded using the following rubric:
