Medicine... its pretty scary.


163 - Syphilis in America
Hi All!

This is a simple listen, note, and present type of project. Here is what I need you do before you present to the class.

1. Choose a podcast from the list of episodes that I give you.
2. With a PARTNER, listen to the episode and note down the most important information that they give you about the topic. Create an outline.
3. Discuss your own opinions on the topic and be sure to note them down to include on your presentation.

Presentation.

1. What happened? How does your podcast relate to the field of medicine? A very brief intro/summary.
2. What did you know about this topic before you listened?
3. Give a summary of what was mentioned in the podcast, along with any of the more insane details that were mentioned (details get people's attention!) You are the editor here so decide what stays and what goes.
4. Give your opinion of what happened and any questions you would have for the people involved in this story.
5. Would you recommend people listen to this episode or not?

Your presentation should be 10 to 12 minutes long.

You may use prezi, powerpoint, etc. Make sure to include pictures if possible.

If your topic is graphic in nature, please include a disclaimer.

Criminal Psychology and some book recommendations.

Check out the following article on serial killers.

Serial Killers: Nature vs. Nurture

If you are interested in books about True Crime please check out these recommendations:

I haven't read any of his books yet, but I've heard Harold Schechter be called one of the best true crime writers around. His books on Ed Gein, H.H. Holmes, Albert Fish, and others are highly rated in this genre.

Image result for in cold blood book

Some say it is the book that started the True Crime genre. I've read this one and it is a real hum dinger. I'd give it 5/5 any time. The way that Capote brings the characters to life (and in many cases back to life) is truly inspiring and though this may be a story of murder, the way it is told is truly beautiful.

Image result for devil in the white city

Haven't read it yet but many people have recommended this book. It is an account of the Chicago World's Fair in 1893, the architects that built it, as well as the serial killer and "Murder Castle" builder H.H. Holmes. If you are a fan of American history, this is a must.
