INTRODUCTION: Blogger Challenge!
Take a health challenge with your class. How can you prevent the spread of infectious disease in your community? How can you prevent getting sick? Challenge your friends and family to make a change to create a healthier society. What will you do? At the conclusion of the challenge, have each student (depending on their age) write a brief reflection of what they did and what they thought about it. Take the best student responses and post them to our blog and we will respond to your students. You can post as many responses as you would like or students can post themselves.
