VACCINES!
I want you to do some research on vaccines. Then I want you to write a three paragraph blog - one paragraph should address the pros to getting vaccinations and the other should discuss the cons. Your last paragraph should be your own opinon - after doing the research, what do you think? Are you for or against them and why? At the end of your blog, include a link to a website you found helpful while researching this topic.
Blog due - Wednesday, March 30
Response to ONE classmate's opinion (one paragraph) - Friday, April 1 (and this is not a joke)
