First Aid for the Medicine Cabinet

Break into 4 groups.  Each group will take one section of the assigned paper:

1)     introduction

2)     materials/methods

3)     results

4)     discussion

Give a PowerPoint presentation to the class on the assigned paper.

Each group’s presentation should be approximately 15 minutes and should include major points of the assigned section.

Each person should write two or three questions on the sections of the paper on which his/her group did not present (we will discuss in a group if we have time after the presentations).  Please email Stacia_Furtado@brown.edu the questions you have written for discussion by Monday evening.

Since this paper has results and discussion incorporated as one section, group 3 containing Peachy, Paola, Andrew and Skyler will present sections 3.1, 3.2 and group 4 containing Joyce, Joan, Mey and Julie will present sections 3.3, 3.4 and 3.5
