Secondary 3 – CGP: Can disease be prevented
Secondary 3 students are kicking off their project work with presentations on various diseases. This activity serves as an important initial step before they dive into more comprehensive research and long-term projects.
Students are tasked with researching a specific disease, covering its causes, symptoms, and treatments. This exercise not only enhances their communication skills but also hones their research abilities. By presenting in front of their classmates, they build confidence and learn to communicate complex information clearly and concisely. The presentations provide a foundation of knowledge and a chance for students to practice the skills they will need for their major projects later in the term.
This process allows them to become more independent and self-directed learners, as they take full ownership of their research from start to finish. Furthermore, the experience equips them with the resilience and adaptability needed to tackle more challenging tasks. It is a fun and engaging way to start a new academic unit. ***
