My story is about how a Cell that had its life flipped upside down when an Alzheimer gene had taken over gene-mutation-story
Ask: What questions did I ask:
What is Alzheimer’s?
How does Alzheimer’s affect us?
Is their a cure for Alzheimer’s?
What part of the brain does Alzheimer’s affect?
At what age are people diagnosed with Alzheimer’s?
What happens to your brain when you have Alzheimer’s?
What can we do to treat Alzheimer’s?
Acquire: I had made sure that the information I was collecting was up to date, and doubled checked by clicking on a different website and making sure that the information was close to being the same. I used my computer, and phone to search up these websites, but also jotted down notes on pen and paper. I had also incorporated a picture of the brain with, and without Alzheimer’s.
Analyze/Apply : I first started by searching up everything i thought i would need to know in order to complete this project. I then had gone on to multiple different websites with the same question just to make sure it was up to date, and all correct. I then took all the knowledge I had learned mixed it with some characters, and wrote it all in Microsoft word.
Assess: Overall I thought that i did well on this project, i think that it turned out better than i originally thought it was going to. One thing that i do need to work on is time management, and not doing it all last minute. I should try and work on things like these everyday to not feel stressed out, and overall feel better about the situation. I came across some problems with making sure the information was up to date but i was able to solve them. Overall i thought it went well.
