1. “Not Your Everyday Disease” Presentation
Dr. Adams

2. Directions
Research 2 rare, odd, or just “not your every day” diseases (think Halloween is coming)
Make a Power Point slide for each one
Set it up with a White/plain background
NO REPEATS in the same class—so name and claim yours on the board and you cannot use the examples
Must include information on next slide
Must include 2 sources for each disease, properly documented
Due at the end of class ( ed). I will not accept late.
This presentation is available on the HBS online classroom (not Schoology)
