Teaching Ideas: |
|||||||||
| Instructors can insure more reading success with this text by using a Selective Reading Guide. By guiding the reader with questions that focus on important points during reading, students achieve comprehension and gain reading independence. The explanations of microbes, antibiotic resistant bacteria, and how various diseases spread can lead to investigations of related topics. For history, students can create a timeline of the diseases, then add historical events during those times. Maps can be used to locate the start of the diseases and the paths they took as they spread. | |||||||||
