Continuation

Using this article answer the following questions:

1. When you first started reading the article, what were your thoughts?

When answering the question, consider the following: (1) what information were the authors presenting, (2) how were they presenting the information, (3) was this information you already knew or were you learning something new?

2. Once you were halfway through the article, did any of the thoughts you had in your answer to question 1 change?

If they did change, what did they change to? Explain why they changed.

If they didn't change, explain why not.

3. Once you finished reading the article, were your thoughts any different than what you answered in question 1 and/or question 2?

If they were different, explain how they changed and why.

If they are not different, explain why they didn't change.

4. What do the authors suggest at the end of the article, after presenting all the information they did on aspirin and NSAIDs?

After you realize what they are doing at the end of the article, does it change your opinion on the information they presented throughout the article? Do you think they were totally honest with what they presented and how they presented it (did you go an read the references they cited to check up on what they presented)? Could they have possibly presented things in such a way so that your opinion of aspirin was negative and you would be more inclined to agree with their alternative?

Submit a list and synopsis of a top ten patents that you feel are close or encompass the need that you are looking to solve with blood pressure machines.

Identify which challenge you will participate in and which city you will design or redesign. You research the climate and geography of the city's location to identify how the city design is influenced by climate and natural disasters.

Checkpoint Directions

As you design or redesign your city, there are many possible environmental issues that you must address in your plan. All cities must deal with pollution issues, therefore all plans for this project must address water pollution, air pollution, and solid waste.  After you have addressed those issues, you must also identify additional critical environmental issues your specific city faces.  These could be due to population size, climate, landscape, ecology, past development, climate change, development or any other environmental, social, or economic factor.  In this checkpoint you will research and identify the environmental issues. In the next checkpoint you will research and identify solutions to each issue.

Check for Resources and Activities under this checkpoint that will help you complete this checkpoint.

Read the “City and Challenge Choices” resource that accompanies this checkpoint. Refer to it for more detailed directions for this checkpoint and what to write in the student work sections.

Choose a challenge and describe your choice in the appropriate box above.

Choose a city based on your challenge choice and describe it in terms of climate, geography, geology, population, and ecology.  Choose details that will affect development, agriculture, and industry.  Cite sources for information about your city.

Identify environmental issues that your city will have to address. There should be a wide variety of issues including, but not limited to, pollution, water use, climate change, resource use, land use

For each environmental issue, cite information from at least one source.

Create a works cited list in MLA format in the space provided above for all the sources you cite. You can use Easybib.com as a guide.
