=Introduction= (Set the stage, give us any background info that we might need to know (but just a hint), this is your HOOK. Provide a segue to the Task . . . make your reader want to click to the next section. There should be nothing that sounds like school work in this section. Don't give away what's going to happen in the Task.) HELP!! There are always epidemics that are occurring worldwide. According to MedicineNet.com an epidemic is, " The occurrence of more cases of a disease than would be expected in a community or region during a given time period." Some of the most current epidemics consist of HIV/AIDS, Dengue fever, Meningitis, Cholera, hand, foot and mouth disease, Obesity, Diabetes, Flu, and Cancer. The world is in some serious need as to figuring out what is the most important epidemic to deal with right now! When it comes to understanding health there are numerous topics that may be taken into consideration. As a way to keep health organized there are five aspects that make up all that is health. The five aspects of health consists of physical health, mental/intellectual health, spiritual health, emotional health, and social health. Epidemics definately affect each of the five aspects. I am asking for your help, as health researchers, in deciding which epidemic is most serious and use the five aspects of health to help defend your argument. =Task= (Tell the story of the Role, Audience, Setting, and Presentation. Be a story teller. Save any classroom-specific information for the Process. Build the scenario and stay in character. You can reference the Introduction but try not to duplicate the information that's in the Introduction.) As a professional health researcher working for the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention you are working hard to try and recieve a grant from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. You are one of five team members researching a current and very serious health epidemic. Each one of you specializes in one of the five aspects of health. You are all working together in order to convince the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services that your epidemic is far most deserving of the grant money than that of the other epidemics that will be presented by other professional researchers. You will need to have solid facts and positive solutions presented to the Department in order to really win their support. You also need to be sure that the Department is aware of the problem and what is currently being done to slow this devastating epidemic. You have dedicated the last decade full of time and energy into your research and it is now riding on this one moment and opportunity. Be sure to create a great product to present for the Department because it is not just your job at stake, but thousands upon thousands of human lives are depending on your performance.

=Conclusion= (Tie everything the participants have done back to the Goal. Why did they go through all of this? Tie the scenario to the real world. Remind them of the "Big Idea" that they were supposed to gain from this, just in case they didn't make the connection on their own. Don't get preachy. If you ask a question here, it has to be rhetorical. No work or assignments should be included. Short is good.) Great job!! Your WebQuest journey has come to its end. Now that you have presented in front of the Department of Health and Human Services you will be able to sleep better knowing you have tried your hardest in receiving the grant money. Why stop here? I leave it up to you in keeping up to date with the latest health epidemics currently occurring in your very own environment.
