Injuries to the Brain and Spinal Cord
ACTIVITY: Get into ____ groups of ____
 Go through as a class and recall each endocrine organ/gland and its associated hormones
 Brainstorm potential complications with the malfunctioning of each organ/gland
 Each group will be assigned an injury/disorder to research and present to the class
 Ensure you cover the entire section of the textbook and any bold words
 Include any case studies (summarize them)
 Include any treatment or cures or current research
 Do not just read the textbook  summarize and provide the notes you’d like to have
 You can use your phones to look up other interesting facts (privilege)
 When each group presents, the non-presenting students should be taking notes and asking questions
 You have 10 - 15 minutes to read, summarize and prepare your presentation
 Presentations should be ~2-3 minutes each
