HEALTH and WELLNESS SPEECH Due Friday 1-9-15

Library Time...Let's use our time in the library on Wednesday and Thursday to research for the Health and Wellness Speech due Friday! The speech is a 5-7 minute speech about a health and wellness topic. You must pick your topic by TODAY 1-7-15.

THE GOAL: learn to discern between SCHOLARLY research and simple searches that are not adequate for academic work. Yes, ProQuest must be one of your sources. You are looking for CREDIBLE sources, ask me if you have questions about credibility.

THE END RESULT: You will find three articles about the same topic related to HEALTH and NUTRITION. You will active read the articles to find out what information the articles have in common. You will prepare a 5-7 minute speech to share your knowledge with your peers.
