Activity IPart I: Track That Disease!Student groups will draw and label a global wall map and track diseases around the world.Materials Blue and green butcher paper (each sheet 4 to 5 feet long) Map of the World Template Pencils Black marker Overhead projectorDirectionsDivide students into six groups Group 1: North America, middle & Central America, and Greenland Group 2: South America Group 3: Europe, Central Asia, and the Middle East Group 4: Africa and Madagascar Group 5: Asia and Southeast Asia Group 6: Australia, New Zealand, and the South PacificMaking the map1. Tape green butcher paper to a wall and project the world map template onto it (I like tomake BIG wall maps and usually tape two strips of butcher paper horizontally beforehanging. Also, I sometimes like to use different colored butcher paper for each continent,but if you want to keep it simple, use all green paper)2. Have a student from each group trace his or her group’s assigned continent (studentscan use a more detailed map to draw their countries)3. Each group will cut out their continent and countries, outline them, and label them withblack marker4. Piece the map together and tape it to the blue butcher paper5. Label the oceans6. Hang it on the wallLater, when students begin tracking diseases (part II of this activity), they can make diseaselabels and tack “outbreak labels” to the corresponding countries around the world.Copyright © Texas <strong>Education</strong> Agency, 2012.

Materials Disease Cards Student Computers Investigation/Presentation RubricPart II: Track That Disease!IntroductionRead the following information to the class:I will be passing out a list of some of the most common infectious diseases worldwide. Accuratecaseload numbers of these diseases are difficult to determine because so many of them areendemic to developing countries, where many people do not have access to modern medicalcare. However, approximately half of all deaths caused by infectious diseases each year can beattributed to just three diseases: tuberculosis, malaria, and AIDS. Together, these diseasescause over 300 million illnesses and more than 5 million deaths each year.Sources: The Centers for Disease Control (CDC); The World <strong>Health</strong> Organization (WHO).Computer Research1. Assign each group two diseases from the Disease Card list2. Have them fill out their group cards3. After completing the cards, each group needs to track their disease by going to the<strong>Health</strong> Map: http://www.healthmap.org/en/. There is a search box at the top of thiswebpage where the students can type in their assigned diseases4. After seeing where their assigned disease outbreaks are, the student groups can makedisease nametags and paste them to the class wall map in the appropriate countries (Ihave the students track the same diseases for the duration of the course so that they cansee the patterns and movement of diseases)Investigation/Oral Presentation Give each student group a Track That Disease! Evaluation Rubric to help them preparefor their group presentation Student groups complete this activity by giving an oral presentation to the class Grade presentation groups with the Track That Disease!
