**The Truth about Ebola**
In a unit on Tropical Diseases, students were asked to create an educational program to teach students at our school about the myths and truths about Ebola. Students were given a creative choice regarding in which format they wanted to present their educational program. The students opted to create a video.

The students spent weeks researching their topic, reading news articles, interviewing the school nurse, representatives from the CDC in the U.S., representatives from the Ghana Ministry of Health, a health advocate working in Ebola-stricken Sierre Leone, a representative from U.S. AID, and a journalist from the Wall Street Journal.

Skills that the students worked on included research and use of valid resources, interview skills and video editing.

Not only did the students present their educational piece at a High Schoo Assembly, but it was uploaded and share with the Community at WeVideo and the world via the Internet. WeVideo selected their work to present in their first educational blog. As well, the WeVideo blog was picked up by and International Broadcast News agency and an article written on 21st Century Skills highlighting the first LCS Applied Science students.

Please enjoy viewing the product that came out of this inquiry effort and the WeVideo Blog about 21st Century Skills.
