Here are some questions that come to my mind:
Who can get Aids?
How do we get Aids?
Does Aids Discriminate?
Who is at highest risk?
Is there a cure for Aids?
What kind of drugs are out there to have people live a much more productive life?
Is Aids just predominately in Africa? (I mention this because I have a written article)
What is the percentage of people living with Aids?
What can we do to prevent the spread?
Is it ok for a couple who are both diagnosed with HIV/Aids to have unprotected sex ?
very affective picture!
ReplyDeleteInteresting picture. Kind of freaky lol.
ReplyDeleteYes, I think it's a good picture to. It should be easy to find research material, I think. I would like you to think in terms of what the reader already knows (how one gets AIDS, for example, probably), and remember that your job is to Tell the reader something he/she does not already know. Look for some up-to-date info, stats, etc. Is this wonder Woman? I don't keep very good track of my superheroes. What about the idea of using her as a representative? Maybe some more general info about diseases that may seem to "favor" one gender over the other? (assumptions,for example, that heart attacks are more male issue than female?)
ReplyDeleteAs for sources--I can't remember exactly what you mentioned in your email...but interview is fine. Remember, though, that you need at least two sources that originally appeared in print. A book is fine--remember you don't need to read all of it!!--or articles from research database. The New York Times has a section here.
ReplyDeleteThanks Holly. I also have a medical dictionary does that work? I aslo have a couple of magazines for HIV/AIDS patients in our office.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure how useful medical dictionary will be, but the magazines sound fine. Remember to think of a range of questions, though, not just how one gets or treats AIDS.
ReplyDeleteOk I will do my best! hope it comes out ok
