For the next two weeks, you guys will work on this semester's research project.  You and one other person will investigate one of the following food-borne illnesses and present your research to the class. 

Norovirus
Salmonella  Alta & Jenny
Clostridium perfringens  Remy & Soo Yeong
Campylobacter  Charllote & Cella
Staphylococcus   Austin & Max
Clostridium botulinum  Sharon & Alfi
Listeria
Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli  Nicole & Felisia
Vibrio  Victor & Arvin
Hepatitis A  Joo Joo & Michelle
Trichinosis
Gastroenteritis  Jacqueline & Arielle
Tapeworm Infection

Outline your paper according to the following:

I.  Introduction.  Define and discuss foodborne illnesses  in general terms.  End your intro with a statement about which illness your paper will focus on.  This is your thesis statement.

II.  Body paragraph 1.  Introduce your illness.  How do patients contract it?  How long does it last?  What are the symptoms and side effects?  Provide examples.

III.  Body paragraph 2.  Discuss how the illness is treated.  Provide examples.

IV.  Conclusion.  Summarize the paper.  Evaluate the research that you have examined and discuss the its implications.  Do you believe that your foodborne illness will eventually be eradicated or not?  Why?
​

Your presentation has two components: a 2-page essay and a class presentation.  I will distribute rubrics so that you have a format to follow.  Presentations will take place during the week of February 6 - 8, 2018.  A rough draft of the essay is due February 7.  Final drafts are due February 15.
