PATHOGEN POWERPOINT PROJECT
For this project, you are going to research a pathogen, either bacterial or viral, and create a
power point presentation, using the template provided on the Global drive. Projects must be
completed and submitted to Global Drive Student Submission (Carol.Hensley file) for your
block by the end of the block on lab day. This paper, and the rubric, are on my website in
case you need an extra copy or are absent lab day. We will present your power point to the
class our last day, but you MUST be present to get presentation points.
