Student Activity and Engagement:
As a take-home group assignment, students will work on a presentation on a named disease that results from an imbalance of microflora in humans. During class, students would be introduced and explained to the terms microflora, immune system and defence barriers. At the end of class students will be instructed to form groups, choose a disease, gather and process information from a range of resources and present findings to the class using Prezi. With this online tool, students are able to edit and collaborate online, as well as share the completed slides with others.
