__//**Would you get vaccinated for the Swine Flu? **//__

What should be the Obama administration's response to the Swine Flu? In the computer lab find three sources on the Swine Flu. One must be on current events, one on historical events, one an unbiased article on the facts about Swine Flu, one supporting vaccination, and one against. Print out the articles or cut and paste the information onto one page and print it out. We will bring them back to the class and after examining your sources decide whether the Obama administration should take action.

You should hand in the following:
 * Headline/Title of the source
 * Topic (main subject of article)
 * Summary Sentences (3-5 sentences at least. Use your own words):
 * Key Vocabulary (three defined):
 * An obscure word, person, organization important to the article
 * Choose terms you think most of the class would not know
 * ALSO, you must include a clipping or print out of the actual newspaper article.
 * and... After deciding whether the Obama administration should take action, write a speech that a representative will give on national television this Wednesday or Thursday convincing people that they should get vaccinated and take action, or a speech convincing people why they do not need to get vaccinated and should not panic. Think intro, 2-3 reasons why, and conclusion. No more than 2 minutes please.
