Content Objectives

It is my expectation that this unit will take 3 weeks to cover in my class. When I teach this unit, it is my intention that students will be able to cite evidence by gathering, reading, comparing, summarizing and synthesizing information from multiple sources while thinking critically about the quality of those sources. Students should also be able to identify the influence humans have exerted on the spread of vaccine preventable diseases and the microorganisms that cause them. Finally, students should be able to identify the social impacts vaccination technology is exerting on society.
