Case: Research your chosen condition( KWASHIORKOR) using legitimate online resources (governmental websites, non-profit agency websites, websites of major relief agencies, scientific websites). Information from sources other than those mentioned will result in a reduction in your grade.
Create a "photo story" about your chosen condition using a slide PPT presentation that will serve as a "visual description" of the disease you have researched. The slides should be formatted as such:
Slide 1: title slide (title of presentation, your name and course information)
Slides 2-3: Background information in your own words (not cut and paste) about the condition you chose (what is it? How does someone develop the condition? what happens to the person? what area of the world is most affected?, what treatments are available?,
Slides 4-8: Photos, charts, maps, and other visual images that relate in some way to your chosen topic. KWASHIORKOR. Each image should include a brief written description of the image. Images without a written description will not be graded.
Slide 9: A written summary of your conclusions about the topic (what is being done for prevention? what can be done? etc...?)
Slide 10: A list of the website used for each slide

Title of Presentation: Kwashiorkor - A Nutrient Deficiency Disease
Slides 2-3: Background Information:
Define Kwashiorkor: Kwashiorkor is a severe form of malnutrition that occurs due to insufficient protein intake in the diet.
Causes: It typically affects children, particularly in developing countries, where diets lack adequate protein and essential nutrients.
Symptoms: Include edema (swelling due to fluid retention), stunted growth, changes in skin and hair, fatigue, loss of muscle mass, and impaired immune function.
Affected Regions: Kwashiorkor is most prevalent in regions where poverty, food insecurity, and limited access to nutritious food are prevalent.
Slides 4-8: Visual Images (with descriptions):
Include various photos, charts, maps, and other visual representations related to kwashiorkor. Each image should have a written description explaining its relevance to the condition.
Slide 9: Summary of Conclusions:
Discuss the importance of early detection and treatment of kwashiorkor to prevent long-term health complications.
Include a list of legitimate online resources (governmental websites, non-profit agency websites, major relief agency websites, scientific websites) that you utilized for your research. Each slide should have a corresponding website source.
