Task

You will research disease prevention issues and investigate how communicable and non-communicable diseases affect the world. You will explore how access to medical services and supplies, as well as access to health education, can play key roles in preventing disease.

Next, you will select one type of communicable or noncommunicable disease to research. Using the information you have collected, you will write a series of journal entries from the perspective of a person living with the disease. In your journal, you will describe the physical symptoms your narrator experiences, the impacts of the disease on his or her daily life, and what the narrator would want to tell others about preventing the disease.
