Overview

In this final section, students will evaluate the risks and benefits of organ donations and how matches occur based on what they have learned and research. Students will use the knowledge gained from this lesson to create a flyer to raise public awareness about organ donation.

Teacher Notes

Asynchronous Instructions

Two resources are provided below for students to research real data on organ donations. Feel free to add more resources if you like to provide more resources for your students. Students do not have to actually follow through with sharing their flyer via social media but if they do share their post on social media, you may consider encouraging them to tag a local transplant team such as LifeShare in their post. 

You can disable or enable comments if you do or don’t want students to comment on their peers’ flyers.

Tech Integration

The discussion is facilitated by Canvas Discussion, which includes a variety of options. The discussion has been configured as ungraded. If the discussion will be graded, adjust the settings and add a point value. We also recommend updating the due date. Learn more about how to update discussion options.
