One of the best ways to spread the news about Lyme disease prevention is to have the students help. When all four informational sections have been completed, students can work in groups on how to spread their knowledge of Lyme disease to other classes or the whole school.

Have students break into groups. Each group can take one information section (i.e., transmission, symptoms and treatment, prevention, and tick removal) to present. The presentation should contain all pertinent information about Lyme disease, and be conveyed in a manner that emphasizes the importance of preventative behaviors. Students can decide as a group how they would like to present their information. Some ideas are listed below:

1) use overheads or posters

2) act out a short play or skit

3) make a short informational video

4) create an informational pamphlet

These are just a few suggestions. Students can brainstorm in their respective groups how they wish to go about the project.

****You may wish to share the Lyme disease video Curse of the Blood Suckers with other classes or the whole school in a short assembly. Your class could create handouts or pamphlets for the students to take as they leave.
