Treating Disease
Step 1. Questions
If you see red spots on your body, don’t panic. There are many different signals that our body sends us. Very rarely do they mean that something is seriously wrong. The important thing is to pay attention to the signals our bodies give us. Sometimes it is as simple as feeling tired, which is the body’s way of saying, “Slow down and get some rest!” Many childhood illnesses have signs or symptoms that help you identify what they are so you can get the right treatment.
For this e-journal you will research two childhood illnesses. Use the following questions to guide your research:
- What are some typical childhood illnesses? Select two to research further.
- What are the symptoms of the diseases you have selected?
- How are the illnesses treated? It would be interesting to research the history of treatments for certain illnesses and how recovery has changed over the last 50 years.
- What other questions are important to ask about childhood illnesses?
First, visit the Web sites listed in Step 2 to research the answers to these questions. Take notes in the note-taking boxes. You may also visit other approved Web sites, or research childhood illnesses in encyclopedias and other resources at the library.
Then, follow Steps 3 and 4 to write your report.
