BODY SYSTEM MEDICAL CONFERENCEJANUARY 10TH, 2014

Congratulations! After many years of school and training, you are now a practicing physician in your chosen specialty.

Your task is to prepare a presentation to give at the medical conference that we will be hosting in our classroom. To prepare the presentation, you will be assigned to a group of other physicians. Every group of specialists will be presenting information about a body system to their peers. The groups must use Google Presentation to create slides for the research. Additionally, flyers will be created and handed out at the conference.You will be working in groups of two to three students. The groups will take turns drawing to choose their system and specialist doctor role. The following are the possible body systems:(1) Digestive, (2) Respiratory, (3) Skeletal, (4) Muscle, (5) Nervous, (6) Lymphatic, (7) Circulatory

(8) Urinary, (9) Endocrine

The flyer needs to be computer generated. I would suggest using Google Drawing on your Google Drive accounts. In Google Drawing you will be able to compile various pictures, text and word art into a flyer. Please print two flyers, one to be handed in for credit and the second to be used for your presentation. The flyer should cover the entire page front and back. You will also be responsible for creating a power point presentation to help highlight your system. You will be presenting this power point to the class as a team. The power point and flyer must include all of the required information that is assigned below. Each specialist will be responsible for some part of this project. You will be graded on your specific part of the project as well as and overall grade for team work and class use time. It will be your responsibility to divide up the task. Do not let your team down.

Grading:

1 = element described is missing2 = the element is present, but does not meet standard described3 = the element is present and meets standard, but needs some revision or improvement4 = the element is present and meets or exceeds the standard and no revision is recommended

You will be graded on the following: ____/4pts Information presented is accurate, factual and relevant to

the specific topic ____/4pts Research is in-depth and covers the system and the required

topic areas ____/4pts Flyer/Power Point is neat and show thought and effort ____/4pts Flyer/Power Point clearly illustrates all of

systems structure, functions and risk associated with travel

____/4pts Flyer/Power Point exhibits creativity ____/4pts Presentation is smooth and shows evidence

of preparation ____/4pts Objectives are met (each system will

receive specific criteria that must be found in their Flyer)
