Read the page and answers the questions at the bottom.  Click Here


New Assignment-

Find out about a disease that effects your organ.  Do research on this disease.  2 page report due by next Tuesday on this disease. Rubric posted tomorrow.  Here are some questions to get your research started.

What is it called?
What organ does it effect? 
When was it discovered?
How many people does it effect?
What does it do to the organ?
