1-Page Fact Sheet Part 1 of 5 Assignment Instructions: Topic…

The 1-page Fact Sheet assignment is a semester-long project. You will begin a working draft of your 1-page fact sheet in Week 5, then approximately every other week, you will make edits and incorporate more materials into your working draft.

The steps of the working draft are designed to spread out a single, larger project into manageable chunks. While creating your final 1-page fact sheet, you will learn and hone several skills along the way (e.g., creating an APA reference and annotated bibliography; identifying and using quality, scholarly sources; and how to simplify and communicate big ideas). The final 1-page fact sheet is due on Sunday in Week 15.

What is a 1-Page Fact Sheet?

A fact sheet is a short, typed, formatted document and/or PowerPoint slide that contains the most relevant information about a particular subject in the least amount of space. The goal is to provide facts and key points about a topic in a clear, concise, and easy-to-understand way. In developing a fact sheet, you must decide what is most important, organize it, and communicate it in your own words.

Suggestions for your 1-Page Fact Sheet:

• You can use either a Microsoft (MS) Word document or a PowerPoint slide as your 1-page fact sheet template and for the final deliverable (many students prefer PowerPoint as it is easier to format, add text, and include graphics than in MS Word).
• Keep text brief
• Define key words, places, and/or concepts
• Include graphics, images, and/or charts to reinforce information
• Use bulleted lists, tables, and/or charts instead of narrative text

for this week i need to do this:

The deliverable for this week (Part 1 of 5) will be a 1- to 2-page document OR PowerPoint slide(s) (including references as needed) that lists your topic choice and a minimum of 10 (ten) facts about your topic. Remember that your topic and the facts about your topic will become and will support your final deliverable of a complete 1-page Fact Sheet.

***YOU CAN CHOOSE ANY OF THOSE TWO***

Your Topic

• The topic for your fact sheet should be something related to health/healthcare in ancient Western civilizations.
• Select a topic that interests you AND relates to the course content, time periods, and geographic areas covered in this course (e.g., The Black Plague). Some health-related topics include:
• Medicine in Sparta
• Ancient Greek Sanitation
• Healing Temples of Asclepius
• Select something which interests you personally and which you would like to help others learn as well.
• For example, you may choose to research and discuss a new health/healthcare practice from one of the time periods and civilizations covered in class OR select a topic touched upon in the course and conduct further in-depth research.
• Take a look at the table of contents in Brooks (2019) for guidance on the topics and time periods we are covering in this course.

Expectations:

• Spelling, punctuation, and grammar matter and will be considered in grading your work.
• Do not use Wikipedia as a resource.
• A complete citation reference page will be due with your final submission in Week 15 – track your sources as you complete each step of this assignment. Any images you use must also have citations cited. Citations will be listed in a separate reference page and will not take up space on the Fact Sheet itself.
• Your cited research must be scholarly, credible, recent, and relevant. What is a scholarly source?
